Pros

There are many talented people at the company, since most of them came from Intel.

Cons

Leadership did not plan well how difficult it would be and how to execute a transition from being part of Intel to being an independent subsidiary of SK Hynix. The deal was made purely on paper, without understanding the ramifications of splitting from a company and complexities of doing so. In a perfect storm, with SSD market being down, a lot of teams weren't staffed appropriately to run as an independent entity and the company is suffering because of it.

Pros

Possibility of IPO and decent payout in the distant future.

Cons

Inherited horrible Intel culture. Pay mediocre. Bell curve performance rating system throttles any meaningful career progressive. Old boys club of senior tech managers (ex Intel). Major attrition issues. Engineering execution is extremely weak. Late to market in everything we do.
