Pros

Good engineering work

People are knowledgeable

Cutting edge technology development

Supportive management hierarchy (at least in my case)

Good WLB until they transferred few positions to Asia (hours started increasing)

Compensation is average (in Pros just because of stock price increase in recent year)

Cons

Worse immigration support policies (Pay for your own premium processing, sign re-payment contract for green card application) Lack of genuine collaboration Too much work to do but not enough people so always stressful Lack of ownership and accountability No standard training for engineers and managers (There are some internal knowledge training but at very high level) No team activities (Had 1 team lunch in 4 years) Food is cheap but quality is bad Building and internal facility is very old

Advice to Management

Hire more to maintain quality of product

Asia support should be on rotation basis

Change immigration policies (at least look at the industry and learn)

Give some budget by delaying some acquisition for team building activities in smaller groups
