      Great place for deep systems/firmware engineers, slower pace but strong stability

      Pros

      Real engineering work – Lots of low-level systems problems (RTOS, interrupts, scheduling, memory/resource management, logging, silicon bring-up). You’re working close to hardware, not just application glue code. • High technical bar – Many experienced senior/staff engineers. Design reviews go deep and you learn a lot from peers. • Ownership – Once you earn trust, you can design and drive features end-to-end with relatively little micromanagement.

      Cons

      Slow processes / bureaucracy – Cross-team alignment, approvals, and integration can take longer than they should. Simple changes sometimes require many stakeholders. • Legacy codebase – A lot of historical tech debt. Debugging and maintaining old systems is common.

      Pros

      Probably none that I can think of.

      Cons

      Worst job i have ever had in my life. Pigeonholed into bench testing with no technical depth or future. Constantly treated bad by upper management. Total waste of time and skills. I hope the economy gets better so I can leave.
