Pros

Some opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies and learn from world class professionals.

Cons

-Low respect from management to their people. Lots of bureaucracy, politics and nonsense -Terrible performance evaluation system. It's a relationship-to-your-manager evaluation system, not technical performance evaluation system. -Engineers and researchers have to fight/stable each other for work. Research lab managers are not doing their jobs to find work/project for their people, but whipping them to find work themselves. If people could not find enough work to cover their time, they get low evaluation and suggest to leave.

Pros

It is a good place to start your career. They are known for their ability to create leaders. It is a great resume builders.

Cons

Office politics. Some sectors are unstable right now. It can be really difficult to manage a work/ life balance. A lot of the management is inept, and it can be hard to get recognized.

Pros

The benefits were extremely generous.

Cons

Leadership's focus on the bottom-line and ability to lead by example; workers should be held accountable for making mistakes and should be given the opportunity to learn from mistakes. This is not possible in a high-stakes company.
