Pros

okay perks, good salary, some interesting work

Cons

leadership is bad. culture is very weird - I was in one of the hardest working teams, but on average people worked 40 hours a week and a great deal of that was spent not actually working. very easy to see why the company is struggling to increase profits because under-achieving people are paid high salaries to barely work. the engineers are not smart (I do not understand why so many people say their bar is high) and not all that fun to work with.
