Pros

Some really smart people work here. friendly work atmosphere. challenging and interesting work. good insight into the industry.

Cons

super tight deadlines high pressure to deliver stupid policies that makes no sense (latest ridiculous policy, you can choose to have either a desktop or a laptop, not both. Not even if you already have both but the laptop is 5+ years old and need to be replaced) Pay less than other top engineering companies. no culture. everyone here is work work work.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
