      Pros

      compensation, excluding retirement benefits, is the only reason to work there. Talent used to be high, but a lot of good people have left.

      Cons

      Personnel management methods include bullying and intimidation tactics R&D directors align under them spineless sycophants as line managers Micromanagement has run out of control, to the point of being demeaning to intelligent people Managers will stop at nothing to ruin careers so they can have their annual allotment - 5% - of "poor" performers.

      Pros

      I think relatively, the pay is not too bad.

      Cons

      I work in the China office. It seems people talk about diversity all day, yet they aren't really that open and accepting to diversity. Diversity has become some sort of ad campaign. Core values of respect and integrity to people seems to be lacking a lot for my specific branch (hopefully it's better elsewhere). People always think they are doing the most important/irreplaceable job. People will complicate things when the situation is not that complex trying to elevate their competence... But then again, this could be specific to the function/department/office I am located at. Reviews on other branches seem ok.
