Business Outlook

Pros

Very skilled teams, very motivated people.

Cons

You feel it is more a machine company than a software company, which isn’t always the best feeling if you work on the software.

Toxic management

Senior software design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of smart engineers who (for the most part) will take time out of their busy schedules to help.

Cons

You will work overtime to make impossible deadlines with no appreciation, then get blamed for other peoples mistakes by senior staff/management, who will then joke in front of you about how they blame software for all of their problems. Bad location with high housing costs. No role clarity or any real training, and you'll be moved around on projects to rush work with no explanation. Process is horrible and time consuming but if you make any suggestion to improve upon it you risk being retaliated against by arrogant senior staff.
