Pros

Work on products that are widely used in the latest electronics. Work with other talented engineers.

Cons

No money is spent on anything other than salary.

Don't expect training.

Don't expect any perks.

Cost cutting is cutting to the bone.

Long-term employees are leaving, taking institutional knowledge with them.

People are getting laid off regularly to hit the goal of a 60% profit margin.

The company is being run for short-term profit and to impress Wall Street rather than as a long-term business that needs good employees and happy customers.

Advice to Management

You won't take it anyway. You know what you are doing, and so do we.
