Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

Used to be good. Now ... questionable
Pros: Work in multi-cultural env. to broad the sights
The governance (Matrix)
Work with talents
Cons: Work/Life distortion (12+ hours per day)
Budget shrinks year over year, being stingy to all employees, but asking technical people to create more and more innovative deliverables
Then it means it is generous to shareholders (but not to employees, only 5% discounts of subscribing stock option)
Punish young and new hires (taking longer and longer for promotion, less and less raise while being promoted.)
The ROI is low when working on a hot product/project (no more bonus, no clever rating rules)
Boring office layout (while the office layout is somewhere the creative works root)
