Pros

Many great talents and experts in the industry. Used to have great benefit and stable job.

Cons

Very politics in the management. People are not evaluated based on their capabilities but based on who is is close to. The middle management team are now full of incompetent people who claimed themselves to be "engineer/manager" but has no idea of how to manager and very incompetent on engineering too. These incompetent people forms their inner circles and block good engineers from obtaining new opportunities in the company.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
