Pros

No accountability so it's easy to skate by, lax work environment so it's easy to goof off, work-life balance is very good because there's no pressure to work hard, hardware is readily available for testing purposes, lots of opportunity for hands-on experience with drives, formal on-site training is conducted routinely, free lunch is provided occasionally

Cons

Management is clueless beyond belief (e.g. the director of engineering comes from a sales background), project management is practically non-existent so priorities can change daily resulting in flail, projects commonly run overdue by years (e.g. the project I worked on took a decade just for initial release), competent engineers don't stick around so HR focuses on recruiting interns (which ups the cluelessness factor)

Pros

Great team to work with. The empolyees make the enviorment worth dealing with. Alot of help and supporting people. Great availability allowing to float hours when needed

Cons

No direction for growth. They speak of promoting from within but always choses to outsource. Will have you stuck n one spot they feel your good at and not allow you to grow out of that.
