Pros

Good company if you like to travel. R&D is still pretty intense, and one can learn a lot during the fast-paced environment.

Cons

Personnel turnover is very high.

Never felt secure in jobs due to frequent rumors of layoffs that usually came true.

Advice to Management

It is very disconcerting to see quite a few announcements of VP promotions while the lower ranks are being decimated. It seems there is little respect or opportunity for lower ranks.
