Pros

Exposure to next gen technology, good communication in general, good management, no artificial work pressure, good opportunities to try different roles. Excellent business model, and innovative products. Frequent feel good perks like team outings etc.

Cons

Sometimes resources are short and project phases progess in parallel, leading to some issues. Challenging to introduce changes in processes, there is resistance to be overcome.

Pros

Great family atmosphere given the small company size. Friendly, dedicated and motivated people. Lots of charity work and beautiful offices.

Cons

Compensation is good but I would say not on par with the company's wide reaching world leading status. There are a fair share of middle managers who have clearly reached their level of incompetency and even progressed past it.

Pros

very successful in all aspects, design innovation, customer infrastructure support, plenty more how do you not recommend this co. to a friend. It is a train, can not be stopped, at the moment.

Cons

many friends ask what we are doing different, to them we are walking text book OOE pipeline same as those that came before, intel, sparc, mips, etc. In their view eventually we look like pentium 4. penny pinchers: two monitor maximum, your lap top counts as one, lol IT infrastructure is awful, unable to connect to LSF, still using eXceed (not kidding), some attributable to fast growth, mostly not. Big company infrastructure overhead without the benefits: SAP, time sheets, IT ticket system (file a ticket, get ignored, call your buddy in IT, get it fixed, pure hell when you are trying to hit schedule commits)

Thanks for the feedback. We're addressing the IT infrastructure by hiring over 100 IT staff across all of our regions in 2014, which should make growing at the rate we are a bit more manageable.
