Pros

Company's name might help you get your next job Highly paid jobs the pay increase is fairly regular

Cons

there is no sense of team, Every man for himself There is no sense of trust with anyone Politics, groupings make it very hard to work as a lone wolf Run-of-Mill work, making it very hard to learn much and develop yourself as a better engineer Open offices make it hard to relax Very hard privacy/conformance policies make it very hard to make you feel human Overworking is a norm and expected

Pros

- compensation is pretty good - work/life balance is pretty good - nice perks like a gym, health center, etc.

Cons

- it is a pretty soulless place to work (maybe not for all groups). You must enjoy doing tedious work, devoid of creativity. Most of the work involves logistics. - the career progression culminates in a routine of meetings and power-point - there are very few American engineers, which seems odd for an American location. Working there is like working in a foreign country, which is fun sometimes. But, it is difficult to not feel like an outsider as an American engineer. - there is very little diversity - the culture is very passive aggressive.
