Business Outlook

Pros

Hock is a strong leader and knows how to grow the company. You work with some of the best and brightest engineers. The bonuses and RSU's are highly competitive. Hard work and consistency are rewarded.

Cons

If your division fails to perform, expect *changes*. The company builds and acquires technologies that have an existing foothold in the market. As such, do not expect the dynamic, cutting edge, risk tolerant, innovation that you might see in a startup or early stage tech company.
