Good and Bad
Pros: It's an industry leader, with stability and great health benefits.  There are some very good people who work there (though not enough).
Cons: Everything is date focused and quality takes a back seat.  Then, when quality problems rear their ugly heads, management doesn't have any ideas except to put the team in death marches.  That's not management.  There's no long term focus, at most they think one year out and don't focus on improving quality or productivity.
