Pros

Access to information-to develop your career roadmap, discounts on electronics, working with great people. Good opportunity for somone trying to develop their skillset (from entry-level to middle mgmt)

Cons

limited upward mobility; depending on your track. management competence-no vision; there exists upper management and staff, no in between. The firm has suffered from the brain drain, to the likes of Apple-where engineers were given the latitude to be innovative

You don't want to be in Corporate Marketing

Business Outlook

Pros

The name is great. The products are fun and San Diego is a great place to live. They have good sushi every day. The people are nice, but pretty disgruntled these days.

Cons

Management is really all over the place. All departments work in silos. Japanese sometimes speak in their native tongue right in front of you. Corporate Marketing is a bad bad department to be in. And it all starts at the top. If they ever re-align the marketing team, maybe it would be a better place for me.
