Pros

Can't beat the benefits and the opportunity to try different positions. Good, smart people work there and the lower-level managers can be quite excellent.

Cons

Senior management struggles with how to compete in the North American markets. Somehow North America does not get the support it really needs to be competitive. Need to be able to turn around software much quicker.

Pros

The company is very forward looking. Change is always in the air. The culture allows for mistakes to help build knowledge and learnings. The company has moved to a project focused management style which allows for rapid change in a rapidly changing industry. The benefits and compensation package appears to still be competitive. The environment is comfortable and nice - they spend a lot of money on their faclities to make the employee comfortable and to welcome the customer. The company is still the predominate driver in the wireless industry globally. Aggressively moving to be the leader in wireless products and services as they continue to converge in the marketplace.

Cons

Change is always in the air - reorgs happen way too often at all levels.This takes away from focus and progress with in teams. Recent compensation freezes may have put the pay behind the more competitive companies. I could have highly recommended this company 8 years ago but the market has stabilized significantly in many countries and the opportunities for advancement and new challenges are very limited unless relocation to Asia is attractive to you. Has lost some significant opportunities in past years that hurt the company image (flip phone and iPhone to name a couple). The competition has really closed the gap.

Pros

The company values are in the right place. There is a huge effort to be fair and open. The biggest issue is with the global company.

Cons

They have lost the direction and keep restructuring to try and get it back. Restructuring will never give a company direction.
