Pros: Work low, not much. Work low, not much.

Cons: Office too big. Office too big.

Pros: Smart people, strong FE community, and a lot of underestimated potential.

Cons: The turmoil at top-level management is so distracting. Reorgs are too often because of this, causing a lot of knowledge loss.

Pros: 1. Good benefits including 401K, health care, time off, gym, cafe, and facilities. 2. The overall work schedule is very flexible, being more responsibility-oriented than schedule-dependent. 3. Nice people (perhaps more so before 2005 when the company was smaller).

Cons: The organization is padded with too much middle and upper management, thus the environment is full of politics, empty talks, and inefficiency. It's common to have five VPs and two engineers sitting in a meeting room for a visible project, debating an issue for hours, while it can be solved by one hour of work from an engineer. This is a total waste of resources. The company can easily trim 50% of managers, directors, and VPs, and a total of 30% of the workforce to improve its efficiency. Only about 20% of employees are working, and the rest are "talking."
