Pros

Great location. Sunny San Diego

Cons

Lost the Engineering edge, no more R&D. Upper Management is not quite as strong. They are still riding on the coat tails of previous success from 20yrs ago. WWAN modem remains to be the only unique strength of the Company. Employee rewards has fostered only the Average Technical contributions. Definition of Strong Technical Contributions has been replaced by Large volumes of mundane work.
