Business Outlook

Pros

broad exposure to a variety of industry task, which normally you don't get at large/mature company. So you have opportunity to explore different things and decide what you'd like to dive in depth further.

Cons

Fast working pace. Require work during weekend during project crunch time. Think it twice if you don't expect work overtime frequently.

Good place, getting more bureaucratic with excessive work load....

Senior staff design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Chance to work in latest technologies across a broad range of products, smart people who are passionate about what they do. Flexible work from home policies depending on manager. Professional workplace mostly.

Cons

Getting bigger and more bureaucratic. No longer a start up culture. Okay compensation. Does not keep up with market. They stopped stock options years ago. Bonuses are drying up too unless you are a manager and above. Upper management is making out like bandits. They do dole out a few RSUs to the rank and file, but with stock price stagnant or going down, the value is questionable as they don't vest in less than four years. Depending on manager and group, work loads and schedules can be unrealistic and exhausting. No defined vacation time, depends on manager. Key people have jumped ship.
