There is a lot to learn for those willing.

Benefits are okay; they used to be much better.

Salaries are so-so.

• Health insurance significantly worsened, introducing huge deductibles from 2016.
• New review process disregards accomplishments: bonus/stock grants and salary increases are flattened to the HR tables; no variation based on accomplishments.
• No opportunities even for the superstars.
• QCT deadlines are unrealistic and squeezed year-over-year, process bureaucracy increased, and no resource allocation for timely achievement.
• Benefits trend is downwards year-over-year.

Invest in engineering, allocate resources, don't work weekends. Don't cut employee benefits and pay exec bonuses. Make firm, long-term, timely decisions. Dump the new review process, which ignores accomplishments and eliminates any variance.
