Pros

Pay is good for the area. Wide variety of projects to work on, from digital to manufacturing, healthcare to autobody to home office.

Cons

Only 2 weeks vacation for first 4 years; not very diverse workforce in R&D, leans conservative in politics and business approach.

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive

Cons

No one at the company aside from the very senior managers is empowered to make decisions. Leadership does not inspire creativity. There are frequent layoffs and all employees live in fear of the next round. There are too many meetings with too many people.
