Pros

Opportunity to focus on interest areas. Culture of respect within the company.

Cons

Management focused only on costs and not on innovation. No clear strategy, strategy is more like a vision statement. Poor capabilities of account teams to do solution selling and most accounts can perform only 'box shifting'

Pros

Good place to work. Great mentoring of newly hired engineers, but confusing amount of paperwork one has to deal with even after staying for 1 year. Would recommend as a starting place but not for mid-career engineer

Cons

As explained above, the paperwork can get you down, and if you are not pro-active and seek out people who know stuff better, can easily get frustrated by small detail
