Pros

Financial stability of the company, less likely to go out of business even in down-turn. ESPP and RSU are still attractive, the technology is challenging and exciting, overall compensation and benefit packages are decent, engineers are very dedicated and talented, process are mature and effective while rigorous enough

Cons

Losing industry leadership as the competition gets stronger, which keeps downsizing for years to result in a very stressful environment, and politics are getting in the way in business, with limited career growth opportunity as the company is not growing, a glass ceiling can be observed, while senior management experience and caliber got weakened in recent years.

Advice to Management

True leadership takes more than downsizing to make the numbers, and it is discouraging to experience employees to observe the senior management's apparent preference to NCGs.
