      Pros

      You get to work on some highly innovative Engineering projects here. At least you get paid well.

      Cons

      It's far too large and corporate for my own liking now. I used to be able to have a lot of time to do meaningful engineering. Now most of it is spent doing meaningless bureaucratic paper work. There's too many program managers who ask for updates and then do nothing to resolve road blocks for you but are happy to get credit for running a "smooth" program. There's no career progression here really. It's just a matter of chance and who above you leaves or what budget allows.

      Pros

      Opportunities to support global activities

      Cons

      Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
