Pros

Great people to work with. Everyone shares knowledge. Pay and benefits are pretty good. Strong future if you are a systems or software engineer. 3% merit raise given every year. Great work / life balance.

Cons

Projects move at a geological pace. New company direction shows less emphasis on hardware development. Miles of regulation imposed policies and procedures and red tape. Little or no new product development.
