Pros

Great pay and excellent benefits which get A grade treatment at doctor, dentist and vision.

Cons

Micro-management manager. No room for advancement. Whatever told by manager during the interview about opportunity within the group was lied. It is because the manager will learn first (any new technologies) and expect you to be expert immediately after explains/demos to the team during the meeting. The manager makes the group so segment that only limited engineers have certain access based on the function the manager wants you to be. The manager INCHARGE of every single project with no delegation and you work like puppet to follow the orders. Even the manager always says "welcome" suggestion, the manager will not accept any alternate unless come from the manager. I seriously do not recommend anyone in this group unless you really running out of option.
