Business Outlook
Pros
You get to build stuff. You have to support what you build, talk to customers, etc., but you get real ownership of components and subject matter expertise. If you're good, find a good team - or even better, a good manager - and you'll do okay.
Cons
Way too many terrible engineering choices being made by mid and senior engineers. There's this Big Software mentality that engenders inflexible, one-shot designs - and pressure from all around to ship results as quickly as humanly possible with or without defects. Over time I've seen this in multiple teams and have effected some change, but it is as a few small pebbles in an attempt to alter a river's course.
