Pros

- Good Medical, Dental, Vision benefits for now (will be getting worst) - Free on-site gym

Cons

- Projects are severely understaffed, resulting in engineers working very long hours. - No work/life balance. - Promotions are slow or nonexistent. - Management is useless and clueless. Will commit engineers to impossible deadlines without consulting the engineers. - Benefits are getting worst due to cost cutting. - Too many unnecessary meetings. Engineers waste their time in these meetings and do not have enough time to get the real work done.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
