Pros

Excellent technology, extremely smart, talented people.

Constant learning, never-ending engineering challenges, and problems to solve.

Part of something bigger than yourself if you so choose.

Cons

Some management are not knowledgeable and too political. The ranking and appraisal system is counterproductive and not sustainable. Management is afraid to treat people well, for fear that people will ask for what management cannot provide.

Advice to Management

Say what you really think. Don't be restricted by your perceptions of what is acceptable or possible in the current system.

It's there to be changed.
