Exciting times ahead

Pros

It is fairly chaotic with a lot of current reorganizations being performed to realign for the future, but once that all setles down, it is going to be exciting for the next few years as we focus on market and with the TEL merger. This means there is a lot of potential for career advancement in such a situation.

Cons

Near term chaos that occurs with reorganization. Several people can get lost in the shuffle and anyone new joining the company should do their homework to fully understand the bigger picture of where they are getting into. Getting into the right group/role will need a lot more work than usual, but the rewards will be greater.

Pros

R&D work, good benefits. There is a very good potential if the management you are working with is good and focused.

Cons

Too many managers and directors. Your contribution is not appreciated as it gets lost because of too many managers involved in a project. Managers are worried about themselves and no efforts to train and develop the new talents. If you are in a particular division, you get a chance to work with others but there is no new learning involved.
