Pros

Many people in the company are pleasant.

Cons

The non-competitive pay in CAD/PDK would be acceptable except HR does nothing about a insecure, blue haired bully manager despite knowing the behavior. Put aside the control freak who isn't even an engineer trying to understand things way beyond their comprehension. A sign they don't know how to be a good manager, forcing endless meetings and wasting time. Forcing an subordinate to be friends, try to make them go to lunch and sharing cringe worthy personal details then demanding obedience and loyalty wasn't enough to get this person some mental help at a minimum. Instead they covered up the bullying ways which are too many to list. They tend to keep horrible managers with no vision.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
