Pros

- Competitive pay if the company properly aligns your position grade level to your experience - Hyrbid work from home/in office plan

Cons

- Poor work/life balance for certain teams in the organization - Lack of diversity above individual contributor level - Inconsistent promotion practices (promotions seem to be based on relationships more so than merit) - Extremely high turnover across all groups in the organization, more than I have seen at any other company I've worked for

Thank you for your review and candid feedback. We are proud to offer competitive pay and a generous benefits package to all employees and consider many variables when calculating compensation, such as current market rate, specialization, and experience. Growth and success are achievable for all our employees, and we are committed to supporting you in your career goals. We encourage you to talk to your manager or HR department to learn more about the available opportunities or discuss any concerns with work-life balance.

Pros

401K Work from home options

Cons

I joined as an SME in my field and found myself in total chaos. The project was led by people who had never developed an electronic device, any product whatsoever. Still, instead of listening to SMEs, they had a huge ego and pushed their agenda constantly. With a lot of distractions, discrimination, and disrespect for almost two years, I stayed there. The project took forever to develop because of the lack of experience and the huge ego of those who led it. The company underwent 3-4 reconstructions during my stay, two CEO changes, and two rounds of layoffs, including the third, when I was laid off. You can guess who stayed in the company - those who led the project and caused the chaos. Stay away from them.
