Pros

Interesting work. Variety of products. Talented engineers.

Cons

Bad management. The CEO is the worst. He cares nothing except his bonus. He bought PCB with way too much money. He treats the board members extra nice to keep his job. He setup too many processes that slow down everything. The company culture becomes worse and worse. The innovation is gone.
