Pros

Great Company to work for. Interesting work assignments. Decent salary. Highly motivated and educated people around. Overtime is always compensated at the highest rate (contractors only). Free food (mainly Tuesdays) and drinks (always).

Cons

Building we worked in was old and had some problems with air conditioning. Sometimes it was a little bit too cold and some people were freezing.

Refused to accept Samsung and LG as real competitors 15 years ago and lost the battle. Very few innovative products in the last 10 years.
