Pros

Great benefits. Good corporate culture - you are respected for whatever you do. Amazing weather in San Diego. Best company to work for if you are interested to learn wireless technologies.

Cons

Not a lot of innovative work. Hard to find career advancement opportunities - for example if you want to switch from engineering to product management. Work-Life balance may not be possible in some groups. Salary is not great.
