Pros

A decent employer, with high benefits. Excellent people to work with. San Diego :) Many projects, some are very interesting. People can shift between projects.

Cons

Not very sexy. The core business is hardware and patents. Mobile apps and such are regarded as a sidekick and never get much attention/funding.

Lot of corporate management stuff, like long meetings. I would expect it in any company of such size.

Advice to Management

Keep looking for new directions and products, and put the money where you want to make a breakthrough.
