Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Ambarella full-time
Pros
They chip-in $5 per day towards the cost of your delivered lunch. Good rates on medical insurance. Terrible PTO policy of 2 weeks.
Cons
Stock down 50% since December. The company will go broke well before your 1 year mark so you will never see one penny of stock options. The place is a revolving door.

Pros
You get to work on multiple areas. You will never get bored.
Cons
During crunch time, you are expected to work long and response to email late at night. No one tells to do so, but the atmosphere leads you to.
Advice to Management
Should support engineers to take courses at nearby colleges for personal development.
