Pros

Good salary. Very good benefits. A lot of room to develop and the company takes care of that.

Cons

Promotions are really made for those who know how to go under the skin of the managers.

Great company to start a career. Leave after 3-4 years.

Pros

Good company to start a career with, especially if you only have a bachelor's degree in engineering (more about graduate degrees below). Good people. Laid-back atmosphere. Open communication. Volleyball. Deck parties.

Cons

Absolutely ridiculous salaries. Non-respectful of graduate degrees (company gave 1.5K raise over other bachelor's candidates for a 2-year full-time master's degree !!!!). No great bonuses or salary raises in following years either. My advice: Ok to be there when you are young (22-26). Enjoy the time, make some friends, play volleyball and drink beer at work (yes, it is allowed). Leave when you start having a family/buying a house to get some real value for your education and qualifications as a few beers during the deck parties don't pay for your mortgage/wedding check at that point of the life.

Pros

Innovating on the leading edge of technology, having the opportunity to take on responsibilties, and knowing that my efforts will have an impact keep me excited for work everyday. Life/Work balance is at the heart of the company.

Cons

The logistics of completing tasks (paperwork) can get a bit out of hand; however, there is plenty of help to get it done.
