Pros

Still the leader in wireless tech overall..

Cons

1) Politics is growing steadily worse the past few years (ever since the layoffs) 2) Growth is extremely limited (once you get to staff engineer level), since you really can't switch to different projects without taking a substantial hit in the promotional timeline. 3) They do not salary/benefits match with a different job offer. 4) Way too rigid structure.. 5) Benefits now are middle of the road.
