Pros

coworkers are nice. Equipment is advanced. The cafeteria is pretty good.

Cons

Managers ask you to do things and ask how you did it, but can't really guide you because they never knew themselves how to do it. A Chemistry major manager can't manage the work in EE field. An associate degree manager can't guide the work which need graduate degree knowledge. But they have the power to let the right field engineer leave. Completely upside down organization. The best people are at the bottom.
