Pros

A very talented group of engineers for the most part. Knowledge sharing was good within a group. For a large company, there was still a lot of innovation. There were a lot of opportunities to build up technical skills.

Cons

Too much overtime and work life balance was given lip service. Projects were always under severe time constraints. There was a lot of politics and the quality of managers was inconsistent.
