Pros

Excellent communities of highly motivated and intelligent staff, I enjoyed working with a wide variety of people and got exposure to a large number of roles

Cons

Corporate strategy was not competitive in the 3GPP marketplace - lack of investment in R&D meant a struggling battle of "doing a lot more with a lot less" which could not compete against other manufacturers - the last 5+ years has been a case of bolstering the company's cash position to spin off sub divisions.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
