Pros

Excellent cash, market, and historical patent position in CDMA wireless. Enormous potential for continued leadership in mobile markets.

Cons

Cost and schedule rule, with quality and work-life balance suffering severely in certain areas. "Yes men" are more and more the key to advancement and survival. Delusions of divinity exist in certain areas. Better opportunities are developing elsewhere.

Advice to Management

We need to take a long, hard look at product quality.
