Pros

A winning company at the top of their league. Very strong talent and a very personable culture. Business Units have flexibility to be creative as long as they are producing and profitable.

Cons

Work schedules are always tight and hours can be very long and unrelentless. There is a LOT of required paperwork for all projects to get from concept to release, even if the project is small. The larger groups are able to hire non-engineers to do the grunt work. If you are in a small team, you will be left to do everything and the engineering portion of your job can seem like the smallest. Like any large company, every division has its own culture.

Pros

Not much to add to this section

Cons

While we (TSEs) were payed in Salary, we had to work 10 to 14 hrs while abroad; be on-call on the weekends and night. But all changed when we were payed hourly. No more than 8 hours daily and no more than 10 hours when we flew out.

Pros

Good training program, they actually give you a whole year for the training Really really smart co-worker

Cons

The knowledge learned is only specific to the company, not sure where I can use after I leave. The training is also harsh, the trainer doesn't really respect the trainee.
