Pros

Company provides good benefits, a reasonable salary. You have some career path, although it becomes very tough at the principal level and higher.

Cons

The review system is a minus. Every year, each group has to identify 10% of low performers and fire some of them.

Benefits are slowly decreasing in quality.

Advice to Management

Pay more attention to engineers; it becomes a sales company.
