Pros

The layoff package was decent, but you had to have worked there over four years. That is about all I can say positively, and the fact that there is a 20-word minimum; sorry, can't think of anything else good to say.

Cons

Management needs training on how to deal with people, and if they get training, they need to stay awake during their courses.

Managers play favorites way too much from my experiences. Some of management have horrible people skills. Maybe they're pressed too heavily from above, but that is caused by upper management's unrealistic expectations of their own abilities and from their own self-expressed mistakes in forecasting.

Advice to Management

Realize that the NAND industry is cyclic, and when times are good, prepare for the downslope. When the downslope occurs, upper management overreacts and insists on layoffs. Until this gets fixed, I don't know why anyone would work there.
