Great place to work as an engineer

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is on the same page in terms of where the company is going. Brain washing by senior company management is not necessary here. The work is definitely challenging. There is no reason for an engineer to become technically extinct here.

Cons

A lot of hours are required to be successful here due to the nature of working on leading edge products. Employees are self driven here so extended work hours doesn't seem to be too much of an issue. Work hard and play hard.

Good experience for interns

Intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big name to put on your resume. Fast pace, knowledge people. Lots to learn. Used to have $3 dinners after 7 pm.

Cons

Hours can be long. Testing is not all exciting and if you didn't come with a PhD you may end up doing testing for your career.

Pros

Great place to work - expectations are high but for those who deliver, rewards are high as well. Base pay at market, bonus opportunities (not a profit share, more individual accomplishment driven), good benefits (share purchase plan is great, medical is great, 401k match low). Senior mgmt will talk with you, answer questions, and ok to disagree.

Cons

Some work life balance issues during peak project schedules. Systems, processes, infrastructure needs to catch up with size and scale of company.
