Pros

Good salary, good peer colleagues

Cons

Over 2 years, i had no performance related negative written notes or warnings. Without any hint i was suddenly laid off with just a simple statement "there is mismatch between my skills and future requirements". This despite my contributing to 1) Systems Algorithms 2) Digital RTL 3) Evaluation of new projects in Free-Space-Optics. I was given decent severance after my strong protest to HR in Carlsbad, CA. The management here in OH gave me assurances about my suitability when i joined and induced me to move here to Cleveland.

Undervalued initially, a lot higher responsibility then hired to be.
