Pros

9/80. Strong technical depth and breadth.

Cons

Poor balance of promotions/accolades given to hardware engineering relative to systems and software. Engineers do have as much power compare to IPTLs and Program Managers, and Finance. Everyone are slaves to Earned Value management instead of product development and sound engineering.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
