      Pros

      Company is stable and dominant in most market segments it operates in. You can come across wide rage of fields from software, electronics, optics and mechanical engineering and math.

      Cons

      Not a very good place for someone looking for growth in terms of their software engineering skills. Most of the time you will have to work with old code base and spend time in maintenance work like : defect fixing and escalations as a software developer. If you land in a solid group and right time the job can be very stable too.

      Good engineers, lots of politics

      Pros

      Technologies used are interesting. There are a lot of top rate engineers with great ideas. Top management is good and asks a lot of great questions to middle management to make sure things are on track.

      Cons

      Lots of politics in upper middle management. Good ideas are often crushed by personalities backing pet projects or career advancement. Also there are divisions (not just product divisions) in the company where bad projects can hide out, wasting money and resources of the company. Maybe being able to sustain boondoggle projects for years and still be successful is a mark of a truly "great" company.
