Pros

It's located in Irvine, best city to work at in SoCal.

Cons

Bad culture. People are lack of responsibility and ownership. Pointing fingers and yelling all the time in the meeting. Bad Management, especially working in a firmware group. Management always handle things in a HW perspective. They don't listen, they have no patience, and no respect to the team. They treat things personally. Being salty and sarcastic. Avoid coming here if you want to learn new tech.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
