Pros

Exposure to stock market and financial trading. Engineers are easy to work with for the most part. You can use the Tradestation app for free with some intraday data. Very diverse workforce with no ethnic discrimination.

Cons

Very little chance of promotions based on merit - Texas facility saw no promotions for years while constant promotions occurring in Florida even to incompetent employees. Token gestures of appreciation in place of actual ones. Subpar benefits - if you have a family expect to spend $800+ on health insurance each month. Minimal bonuses offered with long vesting period. Low single digit raises even with good performance. Engineers not treated as professionals, but as drones to be ordered around by product mgmt. Random decisions made by management with insufficient input and ADHD type behavior at times - crisis management occurs often. Overzealous IT department that gets in the way of work getting done by ridiculous locked down Internet access and constant virus scanning which slows the network to a crawl. Overhiring going on now which will probably result in layoffs later.
