Pros

Some excellent engineering challenges available. Get to work with some very smart people. Access to some very interesting technologies.

Cons

A company of have's and have-not's. CPU side of company were the have's, everyone else is a have-not. Content to be a "fast follower" rather than a leader outside of a very small core group of competencies. In panic mode trying to figure out how to survive. Constant churn in terms of projects and priorities. Don't compensate all that well. Company is run out of TX/CA so remote sites get the short end of the deal in a lot of the decision making processes.
