Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

Upper management not always in tune to what is happening on the research and development level. Decisions are made to cut and disband groups without realizing the full potential of what is there.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
