Pros

pay there are some good benefits, but they do not make up for not getting a lunch and being forced to work 10-12 hr days

Cons

security and office services leadership has no clue how to define the word leader . they believe leading people means micro managing and bullying them via their crony leutenant. speak up for yourself and your group will be "reorganised" and your position will no longer be needed.

Pros

-Smart people --- generally speaking - -Not bad in RSUs really but dwindling steadily

Cons

-Higher the Manager or Executive, more he/she is likely to be arrogant and pretty diabolical -Encourages politics top to bottom -Encourages sleeper cells of buddy clubs especially in product line marketing function - in other words, don't mess with stupid PLM's and marketing VP -HR likes to drag out issues and intimidate the upright -If you download a file inadvertently, your case may be handed over to FBI (Tien Shiah "espionage" case --- google)

Pros

Technically rewarding, good pay and benefits

Cons

Very political, no appreciation for good work, quick-to-complain mentality, egoistic and directionless management, no efforts to retain good talent, vacation policy favors only the "buddies-with-boss" employees, lately not enough RSUs, slow promotion cycles, indirect expectation to work late hours/weekends all thru the year. Caution for new employees - make sure you research about the group and the immediate manager before joining. Certain groups have a track record of eccentric managers harassing people eventually leading to massive exodus.
