horrible company and arrogant management

Senior software engineer

Pros

varieties of product port-polio and some free sodas if you call that a pro.

Cons

In my life, I have never see that software is released to customers without being tested. They are just making reference software that is only suitable for a demo and far from the production. People are playing dirty and disgusting political games and they work for boss, not for company. Some people are lying to avoid their faults and misbehavior of software's running. I'm ashamed that I was an employee of the company.

Pros

Looks good on a resume

Cons

See my previous review. In the meantime, possibly as a consequence of those bad practices, the STB department was completely shut down both here and in US.
