Pros

Depending on the group/division your job can be funny and exciting. In general, the benefits are good but the salary sometimes are not competitive. In research teams, that I worked, you can participate in the most important congresses in the world. So, we have good chance to overseas travels.

Cons

There are some teams that you will have few chances to learn or grow in your career. The evaluation performance process is horrible and forces managers to apply bad scores for good workers. It happens because the company wants only the best employees, but depending on the team size, the evaluation process might be a shot in the foot. Another bad aspect is the HR. In general, they are not transparent and many policies for employees are unclear.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
