Pros

There are still some good projects to be had.

Cons

Incompetent engineers in higher level positions that got there by simply perfecting the art of rear smooching. Engineers that never led a are pushed as leaders, engineers that are not creative are pushed as "\innovators, engineers that have been there for many years with little accomplishments are promoted.

The benefits are still pretty good.

Moving up within the company can be very difficult if not well connected. The scales for Work/life balance are not even.
