Pros

Solid pay, interesting engineering challenges. There's plenty of smart people that you can learn a lot from.

Cons

Engineering direction is determined by people who curry the most favor from leadership. Unless you are an ICT5/6 your opinions don't hold very much weight in debate. Promotions in the higher levels of engineering is almost entirely luck based. High visibility projects that are required for demonstrating impact needed for promotions aren't available for everyone.
