Pros

-Decent salary if you negotiate well or can kiss up to the senior management. -There are lots of talented people across many departments that you have the opportunity to meet and network with. -A large company that is likely to grow but mainly in the B2B side of the business.

Cons

-Micromanagement at every level, all decisions are reviewed by the CEO, pretty much need to create multiple marketing plans per week and review them across multiple management levels and business units before execution. -High-stress, high-workload environment due to many inefficiencies and a lot of bureaucracy. Ideas and decisions can change throughout the day and you'll need to do a full 180 in needed and still meet previously set deadlines. -Management level doesn't have a clear vision or direction on branding, communication, and marketing, many of the plans and ideas are put forward by junior-level staff even interns. -High employee turnover, each department will lose an employee every 3 months or so, they're always recruiting, and also the reason starting salary is very high.

Pros

One of the best SW development teams in the world with the ability to turn ideas into reality quickly. Leadership is open to feedback and new ideas. Great work/life balance and they offer benefits with 401K match.

Cons

Main office is located in Taiwan so will need to deal with departments located in a different time zone.

Pros

- ISV leader in PC OEM business, but PC industry is weak - Talented and hard working engineers. Great support team in Taiwan - Colleagues are hard working A Taiwanese company run like a small cap company with 100 employees. Top exec oversees every little detail.

Cons

- Too cheap - Traditional ways of management, found back in the 1960s - clueless on marketing and branding in the US - Control freaks One of the mission statement goals is FRUGALITY. This says it all!! CL admits they are cheap. Promotions are non-existent unless you slave away 12-14 hours a day and listen to CEO's wishes 100%. For marketing, uses strange English names to market English locales or incorrect words to market to European locales. Top execs don't listen to those in charge of their locale.
