Pros

There are nice people around, ample career opportunity for various position. With more products transfer to Asia, job security is good, if we could execute well

Cons

Weak organization structure with too many section heads, leading to slow decision making. Lack of long term plan, leading to poor infrastructure setup. Too bureaucratic but no one is making final decision when there are conflict of interest exist across depts

Business Outlook

Pros

Provides good work-life balance and professional growth opportunities. However, it all depends on the group you are working for. Relatively stable and higher management communicates in a reasonable manner.

Cons

Poor pay and limited growth opportunity within the company Inefficient middle management and too much politics. But I guess that is true of most of the places. Needs to venture into new areas
