Pros

The leading wireless company.

Sitting on a lot of cash.

Work-life balance, friendly environment, no confrontation during meetings is encouraged.

Cons

Total compensation has been reduced year by year.

Dept heads and/or VPs are not responsible, with no penalty for business failures.

No pictures for next big things for growth, especially for the new CEO.

Spending as VPs wish without good check and balance control - until the recent big layoff. Remained to see how well it can be done.

Advice to Management

Hire a third party to identify departments that will not have ROI in the next 3-5 years. Why continue investing money for no returns?

There are too many VPs, Sr. directors, and directors. They all have very high total compensations, and what are their corresponded responsibilities?
