Pros

A growing company with the hot product in the market - flash memory products

Some nice employee perks such as the International Festival

Promotes a policy that respects employees of different cultures and backgrounds

Cons

Like all large tech corporations, there are many layers in the management structure, so it is very difficult to get promoted.

A lot of company politics. Managers and executives only hire people in their own circle, thus a lot of infighting is ensured when the resources are limited.

Shifting R&D and many engineering functions to Asia means that eventually many positions in the U.S. will be eliminated.

Advice to Management

Spend more on R&D, and less on hiring more executives and managers. A top-heavy organization will not be successful in the long run.
