Pros

Very down to earth, friendly coworkers. Taught me so much about working in the real world, being on projects, creative thinking, running tests, ect. Great management and fun company events.

Cons

Did not see much of the downsides to working at the company. Have been told by coworkers that the branch is more development oriented than research so it focuses on meeting deadlines rather than making products to the best possible design the first time.
