Not bad a place to work, but the senior management is really not that sharp.

Pros

Latest technology, lots of work, lots to learn, and great co-workers.

Base salary is so so, bonus if paid is nice (none if not making money), and stock option is too late because no more for new employees.

Cons

Bias in compensation toward upper management. Burn out junior engineers without growing them in their career. Politics between MSystem and SanDisk team. Not caring too much about side effect of outsourcing toward quality and schedule.

Advice to Management

Lower-level to mid-level management: not too shabby.

Upper-level management: Think about being fair when you allocate all of the stock options for higher-ups.

Think about your hiring of low-cost junior staff and burning them out, then letting them quit.

Think about outsourcing not really saving any money by slipping behind schedule.
