Pros

- Most of the software assets are freely accessible. This is great if you are able to find time and contribute & learn - Global management is good, has good ideas / intentions - Great colleagues outside India who know a lot and are willing to share it if you show interest - Great place for Project managers - not much technical abilities asked for. Only communications and presentation skills needed

Cons

- Complex matrix structure - No transparency in hikes, bonus payments, promotions - Managers living in ivory towers, taking all the credits but passing all the blame - Local managers spent a lot of effort on info hiding! This is contrary to global executives who are very open & humble - Quality of middle managers in R&D is pathetic. seems like the top bosses deliberately hired people less capable than themselves to secure own jobs.

Pros

- exciting and fast moving industry segment - non-hierarchical organization where people are valued - good career development opportunities, if you are geographically mobile

Cons

Company is at the moment severely challenged by competitors at all price points from Mediatek ecosystem in low end, to Android in mid segments to Apple dominating the +$300. This creates uncertainty for the future that is palpable in employee morale.
