Pros

World leader in RFID/MiFARE. Strong potential with recently acquired Freescale Semiconductor. Generous bonus program during profitable years. Fast-track management program for young, brilliant, 100% committed individuals.

Cons

Can be a frustrating place to work. Poor upper management - primary concern is current profitability and hitting very ambitious financial goals. Upper management lacks vision, doesn't know the processes used/ignored by the teams, and will not invest in building internal teams/talent to meet long term goals/profitability - focus is often on outsourcing and reducing overhead rather than investing in hiring talented people.
