Pros

Can get to work on somewhat cool technology and learn fast on the job and be able to interact with the engineers who are very competent.

Cons

Benefits are well below that of other companies in same peer group Extremely closed system with little or no information on product road maps and overal strategy Micromanagement preactised by senior level management Marketing wants to also wear a technical hat without having a good understanding of the echnical issues Access to IT services requires too many approvals - trying to get VPN or laptop etc. requires way too many approvals Management has too many side channels of communication and so a lower level manager has no idea who is directing whom Marketing folks seem to be too junior but seem to demonstrate lot of power unlike in other peer group companies where technical entities have a major say

Pros

used to have free meals, which was convenient many extremely smart people in the company working with intelligent and knowledgeable people many tools available

Cons

- low salary - many managers are technically compenent but lack management experience or even basic people skills. - while there are good managers, there are also extremely bad managers who obviously favor certain engineers over others and do not show respect to everyone equally. - company culture is too asian -- cases of people speaking in their native language in meetings where other english-only speakers are present. -- working long hours sometimes are not appreciated as a putting extra effort but accepted as normal and excepted.

Pros

Free food, it's a job in a terrible economy and not much sexism. Management does try to hire the best engineers possible. Very strong technically

Cons

Management expects 16 hour work days seven days a week. Meetings are scheduled saturdays, evenings - there is little or no respect for employees personal time. Upper management's ability to run a large company is dubious at best - lack of professional executive management Too much nepotism It's a constant state of fear because of the crazy way upper management makes decisions. The company's reputation is terrible - I find it embarassing to say i work there.
