Pros

They pay reasonably well; there are some pockets of excellence, but these are few.

Cons

Can't let go of the past.

Will not embrace change:

  • Transition to mobile
  • Reduction of importance of Microsoft
  • Realization that they are a distant second in mobile where x86 ISA doesn't matter.
Advice to Management

You need technical competence, and it's severely lacking. Decisions are made looking backward, not looking forward.
