Good Pay, Bad Management
Good Pay, Bad Management
Salaries are high, promotions are at a reasonable pace, and the work environment is collaborative. The products are good, and we used to have talented design engineers.
Shrinking, poor top management decisions. Missed the handheld and ultra-mobile markets. Some decisions are made by slow, wide consensus rather than by a few competent people. Too much emphasis on cost reduction at the expense of quality. Too many VPs: 3x more than Intel but 1/8 of Intel's size.
Revert to expanding R&D, especially in the handheld and ultra-mobile market.
Stop outsourcing design and product development.
Put more emphasis on customer service and satisfaction.
