Variety of fields to work for

Cons

Work, work, work, work, work... nothing else

Advice to Senior Management

Trust and care for your employees

Pros

Good salary
Work life balance is maintainable but its up to you to take the lead.
you will learn a lot in work

Cons

Training for software is limited.
Always i felt software is given a second preference compared to hardware.
More frequents re-organisation, so its a bit difficult to align your goals towards the team's goal.The downside is u will totally be competing with a different set of people,with different skills and different role.Normalization during the appraisal cycle becomes a debatable issue.

More aggressive approach like Qualcomm/Nvidia (in Application Processor) business might help in gaining the market share for OMAP (product on which I worked).
