Pros

They had fairly good compensation, but it was dwindling steadily. Nice Irvine campus.

Cons

They are so paranoid and sinister they sent their company attorney to rather insidiously trap me (pretending he was PR) into admitting I may have used company resources to write my "Switching A-Z Power" book. Very deceptive and tricky. HR and an overall culture that does the opposite of encouraging growth for anyone, really. They think they own you.

Advice to Management

You need to cut back on your testosterone (and malice) when dealing with huge, proven contributors. In particular, just because they don't suck up to you and say you are God, doesn't mean they have poor communication skills. Perhaps you do.
