Pros

Some clever people here. Good place to go for interesting work. Some of the stuff they do has great societal benefits.

Cons

The priority every year is profit to the exclusion of everything else. There are areas that need investment to maintain future profitability but these are neglected and investment to date has been marked by poor choices. Investment in training has been woeful and is the first casualty when targets are threatened.
