Pros

Excellent work. You can learn a lot on most recent developments in the data networking and telecommunications. Opportunities for new inventions.

Cons

But not everyone gets opportunity to work on great projects. The supervisors choose people for different part of the project. Getting into good projects depends on luck and being in good terms with supervisors but not based on merit or what you are interested in and capable of doing. Supervisors have too much of power deciding vacation and work. People's career goals are not considered. Supervisors set the goals without even considering team member's interests and career aspirations. No opportunities for growth and employee movement within company.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
