Pros

Better than average benefits. Good people to work with. Focused on its primary market. Better In many ways than its predecessor Motorola.

Cons

Too narrow. Too top heavy. Excess overhead expenses. Rigid, empire building management. Good at small projects, poor at large scale systems efforts. Doesn't really look to long term. Management wants quick returns rather than investing for long haul. People increasingly viewed as disposable liabilities rather than valued for experience. Each section of company is quasi-independent fiefdom. Little cross pollination and no attempt to balance overall needs of company.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
