Pros

Great colleagues (but very poor managers) Good stock options Great perks and staff benefits

Cons

Sr management is much political who think no end of themselves. Vicious Indian circles. Engineer driver culture, each engineer work very hard but the managers and senior manager reap the benefits.

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

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.
