Pros

Competent engineer colleagues, nice administrative staff

Cons

Horrible bosses calling themselves leaders. If they get up on the wrong foot they find some BS reason to terminate you. BTW they're being proud of their cooperation with Huawei contract-manufacturing them 5G devices. Since they are a US based company and Huawei is beeing considered as a threat to national security, I really do not think the congress or anyone else from the government should bail them out in 2020!
