Pros

Most people are very friendly. Nice waterfront campus in Alameda. Its run like a kingdom, if you know the right people, things get done.

Cons

The newer organization structure of Business Units is a complete nightmare. The General Managers have never run businesses before. Communication is non existent, decisions are made by a few people then never cascaded out. The President has hand picked 'yes-men/women' and no one questions him. Alameda HQ is a ghost town, all the good people have left and newer folks been let go. No new ideas. Everyone is a walking zombie (or doesn't even come into office) with impending Intel integration. Complete mismatch in cultures.

Pros

Good work/life balance Interesting work Smart People Good PTO

Cons

Lots of staff changes and layoffs Culture changed since Aptiv acquisition. Just the feeling is different Benefits shrinking. Things like eliminating a couple weeks of wellness shutdowns and starting to add copays to individual insurance. Reduced chance of bonus payouts
