Pros

Just because it a well-known brand globally

Cons

No work life balance due to the endless work to chase after sales and KPIs. No real initiatives from HR to retain employees or improve employees' welfare, they merely listen to management's instructions. Staff feedbacks to HR are not taken seriously, but greeted with reasons and no proper action plan after. Company has no trust in employees, hence with all the policies in place. Management does not reward good performance, but set higher unrealistic targets. Claimed to regard employees as the core of its business but in reality is the entirely opposite.

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.
