Pros

Nice facility, most of the staff are bright and pleasant people. Small company, with pot-lucks and intimate company get-togethers. Salaries are pretty good. Lots of different projects going on, never dull.

Cons

They treat staff here like bricks. If you're available, then you are thrown into a project, whether you are qualified or not, and whether you want to do it or not. You career development plans are not a consideration. There is a lot of hardware level work here, too much for a software geek like me. There is little software development methodology here, not even agile. We are basically a hack shop. No reviews, no designs. Just code it up and ship it. The president and CEO is a major type-A control freak. She will drive you crazy and quite possibly out the door to find other work. It is mainly because of her that this place has a very high turn-over rate. Without her, this place might be tolerable.

Pros

All encompassing tech stack. Strengthen debugging and problem solving skills. Nice coworkers. Leading edge technology.

Cons

Non-existent management. No growth opportunities/promotions. Senior engineers are untouchable while the younger engineers are taken advantage of. Hostile work environment. Management brown noses the CEO until eventually quitting after a year or less
