Pros

Interesting work, gets you in the industry and talking to the right people. There are many people with a great deal of experience within the company.

Cons

Not much buy in from senior management. Because of the merge with Vega over the last few years the company has lost a lot of talented individuals. The projects which are running drain the resource quite hard and the rest of the company suffers because of this.
