Pros

Good top leadership, good employees, very friendly people, very good pension scheme

Cons

The mid managers are terrible, not professional, manipulating people, backstabbing, they can’t follow the company’s values and culture set by the great top leaders. They have a very high salary but do nothing good, and just create chaos and messy the problems. They are not qualitfied, and don't know how they are employed by the company and get paid a lot more than the real engineers who contribute the most. Bad HR management ever I experienced. their job is just put employees on the opposite. Company often cut off people but never reduce the mid management team.

Pros

If you are lazy, this is the place for you

Cons

If you are somewhat competent, don’t worry, management doesn’t care. Employees are part of their politics game. From orders delay to customer complaints, management’s resolutions are to put in more tedious complicated system and lay off actual workers. Constant restructuring every 6 months with no idea what they want. Base pay is below average. Not sure why investors are still investing and why customers are still buying. I would give 0 star if I can.
