Pros

Name of the corporation. Otherwise I would not advice the company

Cons

You have to struggle to get carrier chances, make some bureaucratic staff just to climb up!

Pros

Lots of freedom, relevant products and smart colleagues. You can really go deep and deliver quality. Less pressure than in consulting and a strong family feel.

Cons

You might be working very long on one product/project which can be boring. The labs are a bit risk averse. Colleagues are smart, nice and fun but close to autistic.
