Pros: Good availability of testing equipment. Get updated laptops periodically.

Cons: Promotions are based on politics. I've seen people get promoted even though all they do is write nicely formatted docs and update Makefiles/Bash scripts, while engineers who are experts in their domains are left behind. Must be on friendly, almost familial, terms with management to get promotions. No transparency on what projects are going on, the status of current projects, or how projects are doing financially. Matrixing is common, and you can get ignored by both your team and the transplant team. The Bridgewater location does not get any good projects. It only gets the stuff San Diego does not want to work on. As a result, you spend most of your time there doing no work. It is difficult to work on projects that you're interested in. I've been admonished just for asking for a little different work on the matrixed team.

Pros: Good location. Latest cellular technology. Flexible work hours.

Cons: Less salary, bad work culture, long work hours.

Pros: Team was very communicative. The company benefits are some of the best. Starting salary was above average.

Cons: Cubicles - fortunately there was a lab I was able to work in consistently to get out of the cubicle farm.
