Pros

- compensation is pretty good - work/life balance is pretty good - nice perks like a gym, health center, etc.

Cons

- it is a pretty soulless place to work (maybe not for all groups). You must enjoy doing tedious work, devoid of creativity. Most of the work involves logistics. - the career progression culminates in a routine of meetings and power-point - there are very few American engineers, which seems odd for an American location. Working there is like working in a foreign country, which is fun sometimes. But, it is difficult to not feel like an outsider as an American engineer. - there is very little diversity - the culture is very passive aggressive.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
