Pros

Individual contributors and 1st level managers care and want to help the company succeed.

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen. Weak leadership from Milpitas continue to drive the company to the ground. VPs and Sr Directors continue to make the wrong decisions and don’t really understand the business.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
