Pros

A lot of smart and nice coworkers; some cool and fun products and projects to work on. Lots of people stayed with the company for decades long.

Cons

Struggles to transform itself from an old traditional hardware OEM device manufacturing company to smart device company where software differentiates the products with competitions. Rounds of reorgs and tones of politics to grab power. Company culture and environment are going downhill.

Pros

Great team to work with. All of them are passionate about the work and have outstanding individual design skills that reflect in the products they release.

Cons

The team is getting smaller and smaller, much like some reviews, the company seems to care less about the future development.
