Pros

Good benefits. Good 401k matching.

Cons

Culture. Constant ego matches in R&D. Low accountability and large amounts of politics. Individuals in positions of power are not knowledgeable and cannot lead. High turnover Annual merit increases does not beat inflation. The longer you work here the more behind you get.
