Pros

Good compensation; you work very independently, and nobody will tell you how to do your work.

Cons

No training. Archaic work methods. Constant reorgs and reshuffling. Extremely political. Almost any activity that is spread across 3 continents. No long-term vision. This is a typical semiconductor company of selling more silicon that costs less money. The products themselves are considered fancy and unreasonably expensive packaging. It is all about moving NAND Exabytes.

Advice to Management

I would advise the BoD to replace management with brilliant managers who have varied experience.

You judge brilliance at an interview, not by resume accomplishments.

And make sure the CEO is capable of leading a company.

And an MBA (a real MBA, not a Stanford remedial course) actually helps.
