Pros

Interesting work developing next generation mobile phones. Highly gifted and motivated people at my site. Good team spirit.

Cons

The company has a rapidly shrinking market share and needs to make harsh redundancies, but huge decisions are made in an erratic way. At some point people are aggressively hired to a big development site that is supposed to be growing, and just a few months later the whole site is going to be closed.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
