Pros

Flexible work hours, reasonable expectations from management; one of the best semiconductor startups out there who is making history. Opportunity to learn new design paradigm, new languages. Very friendly open work culture.

Cons

Commute could be an issue depending on where you are based in the bay area. No cubicles or office, could be noisy at times - bring your closed back headphones.

Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.
