Pros

Interesting work/cutting edge technology in NAND Good coworkers Stock has performed well

Cons

Culture and care for employees not there The company acts cheap. There's no lunch or dinner and sometimes they'd give you a $10 voucher for lunch meetings. It's really hard to spend more than $15 in the cafeteria. The benefits are vanishing or reducing. The managers seem to only care about the number of hours of employees and not the performance and output. Great talent has been leaving the company. CEO is all about cost reduction.
