Pros

Great benefits working for a company developing cutting edge capabilities. Good compensation and working conditions. Good consideration of work/life balance issues.

Cons

Nepotistic company with a tendency to recruit yes-men. Corporate culture that is very change averse. The "old guard" continually inhibits progress and change. Hiring technical talent from the outside is preferred to developing people and promoting from within.

Two words: Vertical Integration! (Along with some really good training programs.) Seriously, with R&D, engineering, manufacturing (down to the component level!), AND technical support done in-house, everyone talks to each other, learns from each other. Thank you for mentioning it!
