Pros

A Pay Check. And nice Gym if you have time to work out.

Cons

No Work/life balance at all. "Welcome to Hell" is what I will say to all new hires. Some departments may have an easier life with normal work load, but they start to lay off people in those departments. Most divisions in Durham campus are the worst. Managers yell at employee and force them "do whatever it takes" to fix this, complete that. Very high turnover. Lots of employee with skills and healthy personality left the company, and the rest are looking for opportunities. Company made lots of stupid decisions recently from upper management, making Cree keep missing quarter goals. But those managers wouldn’t miss a single penny in their pay check, instead, employees get laid off to pay the mistake.
