Pros

I seriously cannot think of any one thing....except, perhaps, ....oops...no. Thought I had one.

Cons

A FEW comments [but by no means all]...There is no job security; they have annual layoffs at the beginning of each year [what an awesome belated corporate Christmas gift, Textron!]. To compensate for these layoffs, they hire hundreds of interns to "make up" for the supreme talent they let go. As a consequence, employees leave in droves once they find new employment. Sr. Management ignores unethical behavior from their PM's & department managers. Instead, they leave bad managers in place who, in turn, bring down morale of their employees. Their HR representatives are untrustworthy and unreliable. It is a known fact that NO One employee goes to ANY HR rep because they cannot be trusted. For a company that strives to be considered full of integrity and ethical, it most certainly isn't. This company is an absolute mess! BTW - the one star rating for career opportunities is an error. I inadvertently clicked on the button.

Pros

Diverse and innovative work within the engineering dicipline. Excellent and knowledgable staff.

Cons

Management style is profit centric, not as much customer centric. Some management is ignorant of the product and needs to get on board with how and what they produce.

Pros

Semi-interesting products, easy hire for college graduates, just spent the last 3 minutes staring into the screen trying to come up with more pros but I have nothing

Cons

Very high turnover rate; immature work product processes (if there are any existing in the first place) result in inefficiency across certain departments; management of different levels changes every few months; management doesn't know how to identify leaders to fill in management positions; plenty of cutbacks in the past year and seems like there is more to come; due to the recent cutbacks employees from a different location will now be moving into the Hunt Valley location where parking and office space has already been congested and challenging to find; unrealistic expectations from project leaders; the overall culture is nonchalant, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, and hope for the best!
