Pros

The management doesn't hesitate to get the best of available equipment and resources. There will be training sessions every month, which will be very useful for broadening your horizons. I never had any issues regarding work-life balance. Work routine will span around 10~12 hours and no intervention on weekends. Compensation will be better than market standards.

Cons

They pay good while joining. But hikes will hardly be 10~15%. When stock options are also considered, it seems OK.

Pros

The time to market push for important clients is one of the most gratifying and yet worst experiences in my career. It has shaped me as an engineer. A majority of the engineers are above average and you can learn alot if yountake the time to ask.

Cons

Management are a bunch of good ol boys. Managers generally assign projects and you can easily get pushed into low quantity low visibility products if you aren't friendly. Once, during a business trip, I was reminded that we could all get fired if we didn't succeed, which was extremely demotivating.
