Pros

Access to good test equipment and new technologies.

Cons

Their products appeared to be designed by teams that had no previous experience (or knowledge) with this type of EW systems. Specifically, there was insufficient knowledge of RF engineering and systems engineering. So if you are junior, there is no one to learn from. If you are senior, you'll be constantly frustrated as the culture was to try to micromanage around fundamental design problems, rather than implementing industry best practice, and listening to experienced staff. There was also a culture of lying by certain senior management team members - covering up own mistakes and blaming others. Another note: how can a company implement "meritocracy" when the senior management don't have the requisite technical knowledge.
