You need to be careful when you work there

Pros

Good benefits. Great facilities. The company culture encourages you to network and make connections. Most people are willing to have a meeting to discuss an idea or explain what their group does.

Cons

When I first joined the company, someone mentioned the "30 day" discussion. What I learned was that for no concrete reason, your manager can tell you that you have 30 (or more) days to find another position otherwise you will be packaged. I work with a number of people who are strong performers that were given notice when they were in a previous group. If you do not "fit" with your group you will be squeezed out.

Pros

Some colleagues are true field-leading experts. If you get your own realm and your immediate manager protects it a bit, you can get to do amazing things.

Cons

Promotion system is based on politics. Not on work, merit, leadership or productivity. Higher management keeps feeding the middle management stacks, as well as their own. The Director/Manager-to-Engineer ratio has to be among the highest in the industry.
