Pros

The work environment is relaxed and open. Most everyone is very intelligent and helpful. Jobs are very secure, and young engineers are trusted to design significant projects.

Cons

Consensus thinking gives everyone a voice, but makes decisions slow and sometimes painful. Projects have long design cycles, so variety can be limited.

Pros

Work with smart people. Good work environment. Good hours. Interesting work. Very steady employer (no layoffs). Good location.

Cons

Pay is mediocre. Promotions/recognition are dependent on what team you're on. If you are on a low-profile team, you won't be seen.

Pros

MI is an amazing place to work with fun people and an environment that challenges you every day. You dictate your own path.

Cons

Because you dictate your own path you are given enough rope to hang yourself. If you take on too many projects and to much work and then do a mediocre job, you will not make people happt.
