Pros

9am to 6pm. Never need to work late. Compare to other software company, the pay isn't bad.

Cons

The headquarter is in U.S. So the promotion in remote site like Taiwan is harder than the colleagues in U.S.

Pros

If you want a CEO that specializes is tanking the stock firing engineers, getting the company hijacked by private equity, and cheating employees out of their bonuses using magic company performance math, this is the company for you.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
