Vantaggi
Benefits package is decent. Plenty of freedom to be your own boss. Good work-life balance as long as you aren't running nonstop fire-drills (and there were many) The people were often the best part of working at HTC.
Svantaggi
No opportunities to really advance unless you're in the "inner circle". CEO and upper executives running company into the ground. Bad decisions left and right. Burning through money on poor decisions.Don't listen to their boots on the ground. Call themselves "scrappy" and "underdogs" to justify making employees work multiple job duties, but without any pay advancements. In the companies glory days (Roughly between 2009 and end of 2011) they made a lot of money and gave raises, bonuses, and advancements frequently. Currently, they struggle to stay floating. Frequently laying off employees or re-organizing just about every 6 months. All the work of the previous employees falls to the remaining employees---but without any additional compensation. You get the "You're lucky to have a job" mentality around there. Most old-schoolers and upper management that have been around a long time started jumping ship at the first signs of trouble because they knew this titanic was going down.
