Pros

Cutting edge technology, great engineers

Cons

(1) Not enough HR and HR has a serious attitude problem. HR doesn't pick up phone or reply email at the offer negotiation phase (2) Poor onboarding and training. It takes days for new hire to get the badge. After the first day "orientation", new hire still doesn't know how to write time card, how to request IT service. Team members are not willing to spend 1hr going over the project they are working on. If you are new, going to meetings and asking questions is the only way to learn the jargons and techniques. (3) Serious role clarity problem. Some people are super busy, while others have essentially nothing to do. Manager will ask senior engineer to do a technician's job, and to assign someone to do something that is not his/her job duty (4) too many meetings and engineers don't have enough time to solve real technical problems (5) people have to share cubicles because there is not enough working space
