Pros

Most of your co-workers are great. Decent work/life balance. Opportunity to make an impact on many people.

Cons

Very difficult to get anything accomplished. Layers upon layers of bureaucracy, and many people who don't seem to want to work on anything that's not their pet project. The technology is a mess, and most time is spent fixing things that break or trying to work around the system.

Pros

Benefits were excellent-pay, bonus, 401k match, etc. There were some good people, unfortunately not enough to stay

Cons

Don't have an original thought or try something new-you will be branded as Satan and quickly pushed out for "going against the culture". And for all their "holier than thou" attitude, there are multiple instances of mgmt in the US "on the take" from suppliers. Oh, and be prepared for a layoff every 5 yrs or so where they give a "reason" but use it as an opportunity to get rid of innovative thinkers, people who question, and anyone who chose not to drink the kool-aid. Finally, why are so many woman officers leaving?

Pros

Smart, driven people here really want to make a difference in our customer's lives and really do strive to deliver the best possible technology to accomplish that goal. Secondly, even though our broader team has a large proportion of contractors, everyone works together as a team and we have very strong loyalty.

Cons

Diversity is very low in the Engineering group. I think we would benefit from broadening the background from which we recruit.
