Pros

It totally depends on which area , you are working. Lot of innovation, fun in Emerging market groups, where as too much of politics and sluggishness and lack of innovation in the basic router groups

Cons

Too much politics. No work life balance. Senior management and middle management are not competitive enough, and lack passion for innovation
