Pros

Good legacy LSI people (other than the ones in management, new upper management is terrible)

Cons

- New CEO is a power freak and tries to monitor and control every little thing in the company, himself. Even managers seem to be scared of taking initiatives. - The new corporate management is hostile and threatening t. - Live and work with the fear of being laid-off any day. - No free snacks or coffee anymore, a very rare phenomenon for a tech company. - The company (new CEO mostly) now considers itself a Singapore company, not an USA company. Tries to force Singaporean work culture on American employees. - Company mindset has now changed to save money to show investors that they are making profits. This translates directly into NO R&D funding. So no real technological growth anymore. - In reality company is now very stagnant without any innovations, profitable (on papers) only due to the new aggressive cost-cutting measures. - No bonus or perks anymore. Be happy that they pay for health insurance (partially).
