Pros

Compensation and benefits are superior in my area. The work is challenging and fast-paced. There are lots of little perks like stock participation, quarterly team outings, and family events.

Cons

Lately, job security and trust in management have been a problem. We didn't used to see so many layoffs and cost-cutting measures that are being pushed by the opinions of stock analysts instead of sound business decisions. Cuts have seemed arbitrary, or following the easiest thing to do instead of what makes sense.

Advice to Management

Show more loyalty to employees than analysts.

Don't give up on the PC market.

Quit spending so much money on acquisitions, and start spending money on home-grown solutions earlier.

Too slow, too often.
