Pros

-remote friendly is the only pro -hw teams make great stuff

Cons

-software teams the worst -the worst management i've ever seen. lifers who don't know about any of the latest tech innovations run everything, and only hire D and F level management -nvidia shows how it can be done, but AMD management is more worried about resting and vesting -less than zero innovation -top software engineers literally know nothing about modern software best practices or how to build anything -mostly hire jr, clueless software who don't know better on how to really build things, and management railroads their careers so they are unable to leave with any viable skills.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
