good work - life balance, bright colleagues, strong R&D, comparatively friendly atmosphere.
Cons
lots of road blocks to growth, growth not based on caliber of work but on networking and politicking, top heavy organization, too much focus on process rather than allowing scientists and engineers to be creative, too many reorganizations.

The mission statement states that they are a people's organization and indeed they are. The people are warm, affectionate, helpful and there are a lot of opportunities to learn and increase your skill set.
Cons
Managerial positions have problems when discussing about different solutions as no one person wants to do it the other's way.
