Decent compensation, and a bonus paid regularly if the market is decent. If you end up with supportive management, which there are some, it means a good opportunity for RSUs and extra compensation. The company's position as one of the few captive suppliers of Flash memory could offer good long-term prospects.

Hard silos and hierarchical management. As political as I've ever seen, even within groups. Getting on the wrong side of some senior manager by doing things like disagreeing with the party line can result in severe career consequences, which can be unrecoverable.

Information and good opportunities, including what is needed to progress in your career, are tightly managed to create a class system of haves and have-nots. Information transfer between groups (Enterprise products, memory team, consumer products) is virtually non-existent at the engineer level, controlled tightly by management, and funneled through a favored few engineers. In some 'teams' communication is non-existent, and one group communication within the organization occurred in nearly two years.

Listen to the few remaining voices that don't say everything is great.

Look at how many managers have 1 or 2 employees, and figure out if you wish to encourage engineering excellence or empire building.

Hire experienced people from outside the memory development and manufacturing field, and try something new for a change.

Fix the reluctance to admit that future growth depends on moving up the product ladder, or rather, stop just saying that at the executive level and act on restructuring the company to make it happen.
