Pros

Knowledgeable staff, well-kept facilities, strong customer focus, solid teams, vast network of people.

Cons

Militant HR, horrible cafeteria food, over-zealous security, and upper management's focus on short-term gain as opposed to harnessing local talent.

Advice to Management

It's understandable that a public company keep its shareholders happy. At the same time, sending an axeman into divisions to lay off key talent for short-term gain and send the work overseas, where the product will have nowhere near the same yield, can only be damaging to the future of the company. In the short term, money will be saved. In the long term, the company suffers when time is lost fixing mistakes or silicon comes back with problems.
