Pros

Flexible management encourages employees to be creative. Evaluation system promotes the best employees. Education reimbursement encourages people to seek the training to advance their career.

Cons

Not all the employees are held responsible for their performance. Career advancing path is limited to one direction: engineer, lead, supervisor and director.

Pros

Large company, lots of potential growth opportunities. Overall the people are friendly and the projects are interesting.

Cons

Sometimes the company can be "too large." You're hired for a specific task, and as a young engineer it may be challenging to move around.
