Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people I work with are very smart (especially managers/directors). They can discuss and understand my ideas in detail and provide stimulus thinking. They really try to promote the technically strong people into the. If you are high performer (i.e., have a PhD and innovative mind) then you will love this place. Benefits are very good as well.

Cons

Does not give paid bonding leave for dads. Integration between different groups are not very smooth. Engineering, product and process engineering group could be more overlapped
