      Pros

      The company still has big market share. The company still has high performing engineers. The company is still profiting ok.

      Cons

      The whole market is shrinking, and the company is under pressure. Bureaucracy has been building too much. People relationship is taking too much impact.

      Pros

      Somewhat reasonable short term opportunity.

      Cons

      No long term opportunity. If you are young, leave after two years. If you are older than 30 they don't want you. Salary low compared to most other Valley companies.

      Pros

      - Semi-structured training program for new hires - Catered meals - Complimentary Starbucks coffee - Reimburses cell phone minutes (but not data plan) - New hires have a personal meeting with the CEO - I joined because of my specific manager. Certain people are a pleasure to work with and are beneficial to your personal growth.

      Cons

      - High turnover rate - Poor quality work life balance, and you often have to depend on your fellow colleagues' discipline/efficiency as well as book limited laboratory time, but often can't plan too far in advance due to multiple last minute changes in schedule outside of your control - Approx 50% travel with many last-minute changes in travel dates make it hard to schedule your own personal life - Verbally abusive colleagues, especially many stingy technical leads and managers with poor management skills that threaten the employees on Visas about their job security - The bump in title to technical lead might not come with a salary bump depending on your negotiating skills
