Pros

It's always amazing to see what is produced out of this extremely outdated facility. You will definitely meet brilliant people here. Strange, but brilliant none the less.

Cons

Unless you get in here with golden parachute in-hand, you will be a feeder fish.

Pros

Rapid advancement, work-life balance, teleworking available, great retirement, abundant leave

Cons

Company seems to go out of their way to be all inclusive to the point that more qualified people are overlooked for promotions. Too many idiotic mandatory training courses. It is very difficult to get anything accomplished due to all the task teams, pre-boards and boards that an item has go through to be baselined.
