Pros

Great individual contributors that form a solid foundation of employees. They share a real sense of purpose, want to create great products and want those products to change the world. For the most part, the hardware and software products are solid - industry-leading in capability, cost and ROI. The employees are excellent at bringing creative solutions to a David vs Goliath fight against Intel

Cons

Big disconnect between top-level management (AET) and the vast majority of employees, despite token efforts like quarterly "town hall" meetings and roundtables. Director-level positions feel mostly like senior manager roles in other multi-national corporations, due to consistent lay-offs and resource constraints over the last 5 years.
