Not good after merger

Pros

Good pay. Decent work life balance.

Cons

No innovation after merger. Working long hours is encouraged and rewarded well by incompetent managers. Huge disparity in pay (RSUs, bonus, hikes) across business groups. This leads to low motivation and morale. Most of the managers are biased and dummies. Everything is controlled by directors.

Pros

Opportunities to develop state-of-the -art technology. Compensation is very good, specially with stock grants.

Cons

Company tends to layoff frequently and keep barely enough people to staff projects. That puts a lot of pressure on current employees and gives no job security
