Pros

This company is working on really innovative RISC-V technology. The energy level is very high as everyone is very happy and excited to work there. This makes it really easy to get along with the team and learn quickly. Working there has opened many career opportunities for me.

Cons

Engineering team suffers from frequent infrastructure issues (machines being overloaded, lack of disk space, etc).

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.
