Pros

CEO tries hard. Lots of improvement from Fister days but still a long way to go. Great opportunities to grow if in strong business unit and caring manager.

Cons

Management do not care about people, only care about looking good. Not about how good you are technically, all about who you know and who likes you. Focus on results is good but not at any cost... Poor work-life balance, echoed by others. If in weak product line, be prepared to be the scape-goat and become a casualty of BU agenda.
