Pros

Benefits - staff purchase, Health care, salary & bonuses

Cons

Compared to US/UK companies which almost always work on merit the company works on hierarchy and length of service principals.. which in turn encourages excessive politics, generates limited decision making and extremely short term/ no strategic objectives. Summed up by senior executives having contracts renewed yearly to perform or be moved on!

Pros

Great products. Everyone gets to travel at least once per year.

Cons

Low pay compared to top US electronics companies. Strong culture of favoritism — managers rarely promote on merit and frequently move the goalposts for employees outside their inner circle. Colleagues and managers regularly take credit for others' work. I personally witnessed and experienced what I believe to be gender and race-based inequities in how employees are treated and evaluated. HR was unresponsive when issues were raised.
