Pros

Strong technology and innovation positioning in the industry; team members are very friendly; some really bright people that you can learn a ton from

Cons

Very conservative in taking new ideas; slow and bureaucratic; siloed and matrix structure forced you to align with a lot of stakeholders before reaching consensus; not invest enough on people and culture compared to the size of investment on R&D
