There is still amazing people to work with and very interesting projects. However, budget in projects is very dull and depends how well the project leads convince management for a chunk of the cake. The company offers great benefits (healthcare, etc).
Politics and poor execution are killing the company. Too many people likes to talk and present slides. Minimal budget is hard to achieve for a project. In research we don’t have access to any hardware for doing AI, and we don’t have access to data. Barely any travel is allowed and the company is reluctant to progress and AI. Old management that is not open to listen or to progress. Too much investment is going to factories that are just losing money. Stock bonuses are down by 40% in the past three years, heavily reducing TC. The bonuses given are also shrinking by the same amount such as the company is paying less with the expectation that stock will rise. The opposite is happening.
