Insular and political culture
Insular and political culture
Smart people in some engineering positions. Good GPU technology. Good ideas on Heterogeneous computing. Open standards for Heterogeneous Computing. Reasonable compensation.
Culture rewards overpromising. There's a constant sense that if you don't say you can deliver, you'll be part of the next RIF.
Management does not listen when told something is not feasible given available resources. Product delays are common, and failure to launch products is causing competitive problems.
Listen to engineers.
Be wary of "Dead Sea Syndrome" - talented people are evaporating from the company.
