Pros

Salary, benefits, 6% 401k match, health insurance, severance package based on years of service, some aspects of training, and tuition assistance.

Cons

High degree of job insecurity, especially if you're not in Wireless. Every other division is viewed as a drag on margins and openly talked about/treated as detrimental by executives. Wildly arbitrary management decisions: today's 'favored' product, division, or group could be eliminated tomorrow without notice. Way more focus on reporting work efforts in Salesforce than actually performing work. Engineers received intense, massively time-consuming sales methodology training which, since the Sales Executives neither received this training nor utilized this methodology, was a wasted "empty suit/check the box" effort, caused a major drag on efficiency, and negatively impacted morale.

Advice to Management

Good luck
