IT set-up driven by overall Corporation, not always the latest technology

Low compensation. Incompetent Management, No long term strategy.

good environment for study and very good place for internship

Cons

not too much stress, but get great space for research

Pros

Good balance between work & life. Interesting research problems from real-life. No academic stale-water

Cons

Monkey business of chasing very volatile customer preferences & desire to fund R&D work. Management does not recognize that early stage R&D is inherently risky technology-wise and project-wise. Company used to be independent but got merged with a corporate - lots of red-tape, ousourced processes, understaffed & unprofessional administrative people etc.
