Pros

9/80. Strong technical depth and breadth.

Cons

Poor balance of promotions/accolades given to hardware engineering relative to systems and software. Engineers do have as much power compare to IPTLs and Program Managers, and Finance. Everyone are slaves to Earned Value management instead of product development and sound engineering.
