Pros

Smart people (upto a certain job level), OK compensation/benefits, but they are not keeping up with industry lately.

Cons

No risk taking in middle upper management level, Upper management keeps trying to please customer, middle management keeps trying to please upper management. Hardly any new innovation being here. QC has started buying other companies doing something new, rather than trying it for themselves.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
