Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth. Do not have to stay in a job for years while you are bored. The benefits are very good as well. It is one of the few companies that still offers a pension as well as a 401-K. I am only 31 and this is VERY important to me.

Cons

There are sometimes a lot of "politics" which comes with most companies. Job pressure is greater than average. I think that people often work longer than average hours for average pay (although with benefits I think it is competitive in my area)

Pros

There are great opportunities for future advancement in the company and accross the world. This company offers excellent benefits. There are plenty of challenges to engage the staff in interesting programs.

Cons

It is a large company so you have to deal with the somewhat slow pace and bureaucracy.

Pros

Exciting work in a high growth company. Good pay. Good entry level job. Work 40+ hours a week with very little travel.

Cons

Unrealistic schedules. Poor communication between management and employees. There's no real technical career path (even though one has been in the works for close to 2 years, it has yet to be put in place and we've been assured it won't affect salary). Engineering (SW/HW) positions are growing faster in India, but it's still mostly Product Acceptance. Very little exposure to customers. Our measly bonus plan was done away with last year not that it mattered much as it was only about $250.
