      Pros

      If you are lucky, you will get a good humane lead.

      Cons

      One of the worst companies to work for. Zero work life balance. Management loves to see you suffer. You get forced to work on leaves, weekends. Formal release signoffs are scheduled for Mondays so you work off the weekend. Taking leaves is discouraged. Leads literally shout at you and harass you for no reason. Management turns a blind eye towards everything. Firing happens annually. Hikes are miserable. Recently lots of firing is happening in the PV and R&D organization.
