      Pros

      Good pay. Good Benefits (although they are getting worse over time). You work with really smart people.

      Cons

      They just announced 15% work force reduction (layoffs). Politics, Politics, Politics. If you want to get promoted you need to learn to play the political game very early. Culturally the company is stuck in it's old ways. There was always a focus on "out executing the competition." This sounds good on paper but results in a lot of short cuts and TONS of technical debt in both HW and SW. This leads to further band-aids/hacks which just perpetuates the core issues.

      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.
