Pros

Great people and great challenges to solve. Get to work on a variety of topics in an ever-changing industry.

The engineers (of all types) are fantastic to work with, and everyone at this level feels real commitment and pride in what they make.

Cons

Too much office politics with upper management, which feeds down negatively to the actual work being done.

This level is too focused on personal positioning instead of focusing on acknowledging reality and developing great products in less-than-ideal times. Currently the focus appears to be overly on the stock price with little care about the future of its employees.

Advice to Management

Spend some time to prove to the company that our mission is still to develop high quality products. Be blunt about the fact that our target market is dynamic, and that it challenges a product development process, instead of massaging the metrics to make things look good.
