Pros

Great pay and benefits relative to most companies.

Interesting work (latest and greatest communication technology like 4G LTE and 5G).

Smart people.

Cons

Serious financial difficulties began a few years ago.

Lots of cost cutting.

Bonuses and stock are shrinking.

Promotions are almost impossible to obtain (many people waiting, small pool available).

Culture of overtime.

Advice to Management

Your shrinking bonuses/stock and lack of promotions are driving your best people to leave for other companies like Google. You can't afford to let this happen.
