Pros

Nice products, dedicated employees, good work/life balance. Fair compensation and benefits.

Cons

Managers are more focused on protecting their positions rather than doing what is right for company. Cronyism is obvious and taints company culture. If you're not one of the good ol' boys, your input/contributions have little value. Highly political.corporate culture. New ideas are not welcomed by managers with little experience outside of the organization. . .

Pros

Good engineers, world class products, very decent co-workers

Cons

an ultra conservative company who is slow to very slow to react to the market. Does not follow their own surveys, and micro-manages with Japanese implants who generally change company direction every 5 years as they are rotated to new assignments
