Pros

Good compensation. Company values set by the CEO are good.

Cons

No work life balance. Very political and back-stabbing environment. Growth is slow, no path to progress. The Applications Engineering team is replacing older employees with new-grads. Upper management is all fluff and doesn't care much other than winning business. Employees are like resources and with 15-20 AEs reporting to one manager there is very poor management.

Pros

Thrilling and varied work, ranging from design to verification, scripting and programming, to customer interaction, training delivery and sales activities. Authonomy is encouraged instead of micromanagement.

Cons

Work-life balance is a bit tilted towards work, home-office is not easy to set up. The payment is slightly lower than what other companies offer to equally graduated engineers.
