      Business Outlook

      Pros

      About as stable as it can be Work from home

      Cons

      No raises Decreasing benefits (health, food, drinks, etc. - some big items, some small) Food (used to be good) A lot of people on cruise control until things pick up..then they will leave the company Too much red tape No travel - non-HQ teams/member cannot meet. If you are not in San Jose, you are at a major disadvantage Too many corporate initiatives - can't keep track Loosing its luster on the resume Too big
