Pros

They way in which they always strive to provide you with the best tools possible to do your job, and not only do your job, but do it good, and they empower you to do it at the best of your abilities. And should you get stuck, there is a world of resources at your fingertips, all catalogued, all in order, all in common to find places, and you know how to go about finding it. The information within the organization and their spport structres are out of this world, and you will have to search far and wide before finding an organization that has sooo much knowledge to share.

Cons

With the current economic down cycle we are facing at the moment, they are also laying off some people, and are also having quite some hectic job cuts. This has resulted in a bit of a demoralized fashion among our people, and this also brings with it the challenge of keeping the guys motivated to give their best during this difficult times. People often don't understand that our customers also spend less during these difficult times, and they continue to push us harder and harder for the results that their shareholders want, which is also a good and bad thing at the same time, but ultimate positive criticism.

Pros

Working with new technology. Learning how to do engineering at a large scale. Also it opens a lot of doors for future employment. Very flexible with hours. Very much about getting quality work done and not caring about how long it take to get that work done. So that can be good or bad depending on how you work.

Cons

It is a huge company, you need to compete to stand out. But as long as you are willing to work hard it should be ok. There is some inter team compition for rewards, on my teams it was healthy but I know on some other teams that kind of dynamic caused problems.
