Pros

You get to work on advanced technology in the mobile division.

There are plenty of technical fellow-peer webinar trainings and tool training classes you can take if you can find time outside of your work to participate.

Plenty of corporate simulation tools are available.

Excellent help and IT support departments.

Very structured documentation process.

Cons

Company mobile phone technology is behind its competitors, always trailing.

Some managers need training on soft skills, especially those who just moved up into management or moved in as a manager from a recent acquisition.

Poor collaboration and communication between departments during chip development.

No regular corporate vision casting down the line.

No vacation hour accumulation and no sabbatical.

No team-building activities. Employees can become individualistic when they are busy.

Poor food quality at the Sunnyvale site.

Advice to Management

Improve on technology vision in the phone mobile space and its leadership team.
