Pros: Sony Ericsson in RTP has a reasonably good work-life balance, with really good benefits. The salaries seem to be relatively competitive.

Cons: There is definitely a glass ceiling for engineers. This may also be true for engineering careers in general, but if you are in a specialized area, that is where you will remain. There is the constant threat of layoffs, of course. The Research Triangle Park site is a satellite site with little political power. It is a puppet resource to be used up until the day it is no longer competitive. There is a feeling that all of the design sites are competing with each other, which goes against the lip service of 'we must all work together.'

Pros: Good growth opportunities, but requires self-initiative mostly.

Cons: It would be good to have more younger people.
