Pros

With a good boss and in the right department, there can be some really interesting work. Because of how disorganized Trend is, there are lots of opportunities to branch out into areas that don't technically fall under your job description.

Cons

Trend loves to lay people off. Management seems to think that employees are interchangeable, so they will lay off people in expensive locations and then **try** to rehire in a less expensive location. The most disgusting thing I have ever seen was at an all-Cupertino employee meeting with management, including the CEO (Eva Chen). This meeting was a few weeks after a large lay off. When the executive team was asked the whether or not additional there would be additional lay offs in Cupertino, the response from the executives was ... laughter. Three executives passed the microphone back and forth between themselves laughing and not answering the lay off question. Also, lots of nepotism, cronyism and racism among the Asian executives . Incompetent Asian executives/managers are kept on because they are part of "the family".

Pros

Good people, solid benefits, not very stressful.

Cons

You will never, and I mean never, get a meaningful raise or a promotion at this company. It is a place for coasting, not growing. Leadership cares more about looking like an AI company than anything else.
