Pros

Good work environment among colleagues of same level; Excellent place to learn;

Cons

- Management is not efficient in understand company goals and translate it in projects. - Sometimes the projects need to focus in move the state of the art, other times ptojects needs to boost device sales. - All teams under the same department had different goals and tasks which made impossible to reach the department goals. - Managers avoid conlifcts and cooperation - they are only concerned in not with its own objectives. - Several studies and reports are made without any reason to it. On the other hand, several initiatives could be started after such reports, but no one cares about it. - Performance is badly evaluated. No matter what you did, directors will promote their "friends" or the ones who demanded higher salary.

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
