Pros: Good personalities to work with for the most part. The benefits are great, especially if you are young. My advice is to get in and get them to pay for your degree and then leave. Work/life balance is great, since there is very little required in terms of performance.

Cons: There are a considerable amount of people doing little or no work. The company is reliant on heroes that are running most of the projects, and it burns people out and they leave. Knowledge sharing is non-existent. The pace is extremely slow. Work that is done over months is done in weeks at other companies. Many people are working full time while supporting another job outside the company due to lack of a challenge and boredom.

Pros: Great exposure to experienced and talented professionals.

Cons: Confusing salary ranges and expectations.

Pros: Friendly people, fairly low stress, good benefits, paid overtime, cool products.

Cons: Decisions come from management down. Engineers are not very empowered or encouraged to be innovative. It is very difficult to change jobs. There are many senior engineers, so even if you have a lot of experience, it is hard to advance into positions of greater responsibility.
