Pros

Good people, decent compensation. Company has plenty of resources both financial and human and aims to be a force in the market. Work life balance is reasonable and culture is generally positive.

Cons

New leadership is brutal and will slash jobs even when the people and the company are doing great. Anything to improve the bottom line. During my time there we experienced several job actions a year - even business units that were doing a great job for the company and key performers were shown the door based on the whims of executive management.

Political, non-technical maangement

Pros

Their supply chain and customer relationships are the best in the industry. Depending on your position and role, you get good exposure to Tier 1 customers/partners, as well as state-of-the-art supply chain and vendor capabilities. Stock has done well. If you just want to do your job, take your paycheck and not be too motivated to make a difference, this is a good place.

Cons

It's like a shark tank - heavy politics and finger pointing on lower management by upper management. The culture is evident as all senior management positions are held by sales/marketing professionals with no technical experience or exposure. They have a tendency to block strong technical folks from going up the ladder. The company is always chasing sockets and is never the first one as minimal resources are invested in technology/research. It's all about pleasing the Wall Street. If you lack technical prowess, have done well in a highly political organization, and love your old school 8 - 5 office hours, this is the place to be. Flexible schedules are frowned upon.
