Pros

- Good Engineering/technical personnel - Good training ground and research support in various parts of the world. - Thinks Big or Bust on most projects

Cons

- Highly beauracratic ( It takes 6 months to add a vendor to the vendor system) - "Sucking up culture" ( Manager needs to hear only positive things and not bad things) - The management is full of White Male Gen X folks who don't understand Gen Y at all (majority > 45 years) - The ombudsperson system is flawed (Multiple people have been given "neutral feedback" on their problems that were filed anonymously and later they were given poor ratings) - Rank and Yank system is still very prevalent even in 2015 (The HR said rank and yank is non-existent, but still PIP are served out to employees when their ranking is low and they are kicked out without compensation. HR lies like its nobody's business and management has no concern for shareholder wealth creation)

Pros

Independent work with exposure to commercial teams and product management. Allowed me to work remotely. Great teams and direct management.

Cons

Got a bit redundant and wasn't as challenging as I had hoped. I didn't have enough customer exposure. Would have liked the chance to travel more.
