Was a good place....

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to start a career. Worked with some very good engineers. Great place to learn the trade. Was a great place to work with lots of interesting work and good people to work with (not any more)

Cons

But sadly many good people are leaving. Management does not have a clue about what is happening. Too many project re-definitions and cancellations of late. Bad managers (mostly replacing the good people who have left)

Pros

Company culture is great, and work is full of challenge, while there are some chances to do what you want to do. The cafeteria is also nice.

Cons

The PC market is getting challenge from tablet and cellphone. Fushion is coming late. Company_level management need to be more insight.
