Pros

Good Tools, Good local team

Cons

Over extended themselves in early 2000's and had nothing but product line sales and layoffs since. Team in US was not respected and software developed in US was taken to create competing products in China including overall framework and individual features with no corresponding return of features Management switched from a highly respectable Hong Lu to been counters concerned only with the stock price and not with product integrity and company productivity Rather than leveraging two teams working on the same types of products they let them run independently resulting in neither product being a success.

Pros

Close to home so I had a short commute and could ride my bicycle.

Cons

Poor management. Did not keep up with business developments in China. Too many managers had their own fiefdom.
