Pros

Big company, you can do many unique things in the company of this level.

Cons

Dead promotion: the company sets limitations how many people can be promoted and how many should be demoted. If the first part basically leads to a kind of queue where you wait for your turn to get promotion while most of the time your salary scales up slowly the second part is just stupid. Your team is expected to have some bad performer... Why would we? Why would we not fire really bad guys?

Excellent management. Smart people. I feel safe there. They take reports seriously and thoroughly investigate wrongdoing and take action to protect employees.

None. It’s the perfect employer.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
