Pros

Well respected brand name,Good people most of whom you could trust behind your back, average salaries. Additional education encouraged.

Too much control and direction from the foreign owners stifled creativity. Some back-stabbing. Caught in a changing technology market.

Pros

great place to work and grow, really enjoyed the people i worked with and the management seemed nice as well for sure.

Cons

Never really had any major down sides to the job. Lunch was 12-1 and that was plenty of time to go and do what you wanted to do.

Pros

You do not have to be very competent to make a career. Moreover, non-performance often leads to a promotion. All you need is to be a good politician. Is this a "pros"? For many people being hired or still kept, unfortunately it is.

Cons

If you are competent and keen, you will get a disproportional amount of work and responsibilities, that a human being - even the most capable, ambitious and motivated - cannot safely handle for a long time. When you want to slow down, you are low performing then. Burn out, hospital, drop from orbit, divorce, robotization are your destinations. A bunch of dependants will gravitate around you with demands for constant operational support (read: do their work). Another layer of colleagues mostly talking about work and gossips around the coffee machine. The latter group has better survival chances! Hard to get anything committed, organized and done without nerves, polemics, politics, meetings. Most effort and personal energy dissipates in anything but not core engineering. The real engineering problems - this is side activity! "Don't bother with details." Excellent awareness about the non-responsibilities.
