Pros

Great place to get started out of school, decent pay and good benefits. The new Austin location is in a beautiful place to work and provides picturesque views of the Texas hill country and downtown Austin. New processes are going into effect that will help the company long term.

Cons

Over the 15 months I've been here I have witnessed 4 layoffs, 0 profitable quarters and have a hard time seeing the company pull out of this recession with a breath left to fight. Money is still being flung around amidst the tightening belt and little is being done to prevent it.

Pros

You get to work with some of the best engineers. Also, working on some of the most complex designs gives you ample opportunities to learn and innovate.

Cons

Although the top management is focused and working hard, there seems to be disconnect between them and lower management ranks. First and second level managers are more busy managing their bosses and impressing them than growing team and managing the work.

Pros

- interesting products, being #2 doesn't mean your product is that bad - opportunities for internal transfer - challenging problems in both product and research work - generally smart coworkers - feeling of a shared goal / decent morale - fairly open to suggestions for product improvement

Cons

- company in permanent financial trouble; don't count on a bonus - low-grade work environment (cube farm with buzzing fluorescents) - some projects get cancelled, sucks if yours does - missing recognition even with excellent reviews - easy to get stuck with uninteresting, long-term maintenance tasks if you're not careful to avoid them immediately
