Pros

Lots of opportunity to move around within the company and work on all sorts of different projects and within different engineering disciplines.

Cons

Same problems with all large companies. Very difficult to get simple things done due to need for multiple approvals.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
