Pros

Good engineering experience if you're willing to sell your soul, and they pay high salary

Cons

Horrible toxic leadership, warped abuse of company rules and values to justify putting others down to get ahead, unhealthy approach to reviews that pin colleages up against eachother, shaming people for using their benifits, the only way to get ahead is to play leadership at their own dirty game
