Pros

Very flexible working environment - no strict working hour or location, free to work from home if needed and etc. Very friendly workforce - people are easy to work with and willing to help; you can phone a senior manager directly asking about coding issues anytime; impactful product - pushing the automation tools to a new boundary; it's always cool to work with MATLAB/Simulink. Plus, very stable company with very few competitors - great job security in a long run Plus plus, you have your own office!

Cons

Salary is not as competitive as some other big names, but it's acceptable (~$10K different per year).
