Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits. Good opportunity to learn new things. Nice facilities. Work life balance. Research Triangle Park is a nice area to live.
Cons
For United States employees expect your job to be moving over to China shortly. Hard to trust upper level management. Difficult to achieve bonus goals.

We currently had a resource action due to our transformation to a PC+ company. We bought Motorola Mobility and IBM x86 Server business. Both businesses were not performing prior to our purchase. We bought them to transform them to be profit engines. This takes serious effort and time, and unfortunately required re-sizing for long term success. We expect the turn around to start very soon. We experienced a similar pattern when we bought IBM's PC division 10 years ago. Now, we are the #1 PC company in the world with our highest market share ever.
We expect great things in the long term. We have clear vision to become stronger than ever....and we have thousands of employees in the US and intend to continue to have a very strong anchor here.
Good pay, interesting projects to work on, good colleagues
Cons
A person's experience greatly impacted by the leadership his/her team is under. Generally, there's a solid culture in spite of high demands. The wrong leadership chain create toxicity that even great pay and bonuses can't overcome
