Pros

Lots of talented hard working people and the money is good.

Cons

The expectation from management is that you will work around the clock. They preach a lot about work life balance but it's all talk.

Pros

Great colleagues and flexibility, ability to work from home and remote.

Cons

Benefits are middle of the range, as is pay. Nothing special. If you want to hide this is an easy place to do it. Upper level management have no idea what is going on and just want to take more and more cost out of the business. Lots of key employees are now starting to leave and I suspect it will continue that way. A shame as it was a great place many years ago and it has been driven into the ground by incompetent and selfish leadership who are just out for their own bank balance. Hear all the time about culture as if it is something you achieve by putting posters on the wall and spending money on creating a book. Stop saying the words and lead by example.

Pros

Some nice and technical co-workers. Some leading edge products with challenging design.

Cons

The upper management does not have a capability to predict the future trend of the market with the correct timing. They only pursue the near future possibility, therefore they always miss the right time to the market. The middle level managers are hired from the outside of the company, and they are not always the experts on the business. The middle level managers are tending to be "yes man" to the higher management. All of the pressures are directly water fallen to the lowest level engineers without correct consideration of the product. The moral is very low in the R&D engineering groups, so many engineers are thinking to leave the company. I saw some R&D group lost more than half of good engineers in less than 3 years.
