Pros

Many locations through out the US and world ranging from small towns to large cities. Very strong eithics - one strike and you're out Good blend of talent from straight out of college to seasoned employees

Cons

Secrecy in some job opportunities, sometimes it seems like who you know to get a job and that when interviewing, you know you are just getting a courtesy interview. Some jobs post, others just seem to get filled. Lack of continuity in pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

1) easy going environment. There is not much pressure unless you are working with the Innovation center. Compensation package is good and all the senior management almost know everyone working there.

Cons

Some of the people do not know what they are doing. They are more interested in getting funding for a project and do not care if the project is going to be success. The vision of the people at Innovation are very short. They have long term goals, but the direction they go are very much questionable.
