Pros

The company has good social and environmental policies. The bonuses are usually pretty good. The mobile industry in an exciting market to work in.

Cons

A lot a bureaucracy and heavy processes. Internal competition is high and cohesion among members of different domains is weak. Direction and organisation changes too often and takes too long to be implemented.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
