Pros: Working as a software engineer in a company that gets money from hardware is an interesting challenge. Not everybody can grasp what this really involves, but once you get it, it becomes an interesting job. You can take advantage of working with a big team of very talented people with many years of experience and be part of a system made to do great things.
Cons: Being a giant company, things are slow and sometimes not the most optimum. At the same time, this becomes an opportunity area that you can deal with, but it will depend on the team you are in.
