No incentive to innovation in R&D, Heavy Bureaucracy

Pros

Flexibility in the working hours

Cons

Management actively disincentivizes researchers from doing any innovative work. Management has no idea about research in general, and pencil pushing bureaucracy is valued a lot, actively wasting valuable researcher time. Good company if you are looking for a very stable job, but DO NOT join if you are young, want to do fundamental research, or want to learn from peers. Researchers are extremely silo-ed and research labs actively compete for same funding sources, as a result collaboration is highly discouraged.

Pros

The pay is pretty good.

Cons

Upper management constantly lies to the employees. This place in managed by a snake. No integrity & sneaks around watching people from a distance. He cannot be trusted and the vast majority of the employees hate him.
