Pros

If you thrive in chaos and love to be continuously challenged I highly recommend. The hardest, most frustrating, and highly rewarding experiences you're likely to ever encounter. If you are proactive, curious, collaborative, and humble you'll do great.

Cons

If you're goal is to maintain status quo, not willing to continuously develop, and give < 110% everyday, this is not the place for you. Note: The office politics can be treacherous at times, not for the faint of heart.

Pros

The place is a sweat shop…. They don’t give a damn about their employees…..

Cons

Plenty of reasons not to work there but more than anything it is very hard work and they are constantly saying you are not fast enough…. If I was an astronaut, I wouldn’t set foot near these things….

Team-Specific Culture

Pros

-Knowledgeable and inclusive team/department -Broad range of work tasks -Incredible insight into leading industry projects/programs -Plenty of room for career learning and growth

Cons

-Culture is incredibly team-specific. I would not work for any other department, and possibly not any other manager, due to different work/life expectations. Engineering teams obviously hold themselves in higher regard than non-engineering personnel; I have been thrown under the bus by Manager -> Director level engineering personnel on other teams as a staff level employee -Embarrassing and harmful (to company image and to employees) behavior by highest levels of leadership -Constant unspoken threat of being fired if you anger the wrong person. I would not have taken the job if I didn't have much to lose (I already lived in the area, etc.)
