Pros

Greatly engaged teams create technologically sound products, good benefits, international exposure, company values live in performance-driven yet human atmosphere in engineering teams.

Cons

Culture slow in changing to products that the market demands, still challenged by competition. Ongoing new corporate structure makes personal growth opportunities hard to predict. Somewhat narrow product focus (only phones) makes company vulnerable to changes in the industry.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
