Pros

Smartest electrical engineers around. Good focus on patents/ip, not just short term revenue projections. Work on advanced technology attracts some cool people.

Cons

Large company means opportunities to do things with initiative are by definition hard to do. Tends to have alot revolving around SAn Diego.

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
