Pros

Few people are top in their fields. Can get to learn a lot from them. Everything else is bad.

Cons

1. Top management doesn't inspire any confidence. They have hired yes men. 2. Pay is sub par. 3. Employee appreciation is virtually absent unless you are a favorite of the top people. Promotions are far and few, stock awards are miniscule (if given at all). They don't know / don't want to take care of employees 3. Bureaucracy in each step, waste of time 4. No clear direction from the top management, no funds for R&D when market slumps only to play a catch up game upon recovery. Lack of vision. 5. Constantly playing catch up with competitors and losing advantage of headstarts

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
