Pros

Strong positioning in the industry (currently number 2). Ahead of the curve in Telecom R&D. Good work-life balance. Good compensation and benefits package.

Cons

Employee morale is low due to periodic layoffs. Decision making by management is slow and the management structure is complex.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
