Pros

Good technology, great engineers and first level engineering managers.

Cons

too much politics in the ranks. Politics is promoted rather than quashed. Senior management doesnt get the right information, and are surrounded by people who play the political game. Forget career growth or opportunity to work cross functionally or cross BU.
