Pros

Although my experience with their hiring process was extensive and involved rigorous multistage interviews, my colleagues attest that they were hired out of college without so much as coding interviews. If your university has an RTX pipeline its an exceptional first job.

Cons

Annual bonuses and raises as well as promotions depend solely on whether or not your section head bothers to advicate for you. If you get a lazy or inattentive SH, your career will stagnate.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
