      Pros

      Not really much to speak of unless you like being lazy, take 3 hours lunch, do little work and be in a dead end job with zero potential in promotion and nothing to learn.

      Cons

      You want a paycheck only and dont care about learning anything and want to rot in your dead end job work here. Management is clulesd. Lots of fancy process document that not a single engineer follows, its all for show. Pay is poor and technology is poorer. If you want learn something new in technology this aint the place. Dont waste your valuable time here. Its boring. Couldnt wait to get the hell out.
