Pros

Its a great place to work if you solely focus on getting yourself ahead and looking good to your superiors.

Cons

Engineers do not make the best managers, sales people or marketing folks. The idea that a limber engineer can succeed in any role you drop them is the prevailing attitude. The concept of ability that cannot be taught is foreign in this place. If you read enough TBTs and scour InTouch, you can rule the world.
