Pros

Smart and innovative technical people. Do not have to work 100 hours a week. Technical people are generally knowledgeable and in some cases experts in field

Cons

No training. Hard to get basic tools like company phones. Some areas have poor quality work and inexperienced leadership. Poor management skills. Many managers should really be doing more technical roles as they don't have skills or training. People are rapidly falling behind in skills and expertise. If you want work life balance come trained and leave before your skills get too stale. Culture has changed dramatically in part 5 years. Expectation that you take any training in your own time. No transparency on promotion process.

Pros

Diverse challenging problems in ML, Cyber securities, Analytics, Signal processing, Big Data, etc. Also a good company for electrical and electronics engineering related to radar, antenna, robotics, sensors, etc. Good work life balance.

Cons

More emphasis on leadership than engineering know how. People higher up in ranking is mostly due to their tenure as opposed to their skill-set.
