Pros

Work Life balance, Smart People, Great environnement and infrastructure.

Cons

They have an issue in IT that everybody knows but nothing is done at it. It is a Matrix organisation, a very weak one where functional management has the power. This means that Project Management is a Executor, Administrator, Coordinator department but really lack their "Management power" has it should be in a strong Matrix organisation. Nothing is done to empower this department (and unpower the functional ones - mainly delivery). This situation create lots of collaboration and communication issue, frustration. Also, When you have a Project Manager with a hierarchy level lower than your functional managers then you have issues. A lot.

Poor senior management and too many middle managers Terrible performance management approach related to who you know not what you do. Good engineers are leaving because there are no promotions and the pay has fallen far behind other companies
