Pros

People are nice and the workload is not that heavy(minimal overtime). Working hours are a little flexible.

Cons

I was a senior from my previous company and offered a junior job since they're saying because my experience was not automotive(an indication of how little they know about embedded systems). I got frustrated upon hearing a lot of things like calling the P.I. controller as Pi(pie), I was asked by my boss what FW means(understandable on some EU companies because FW is still SW for them but my boss is not from EU), and a senior engineer wasn't even sure if 0xD8 can really be assigned to a signed int8. They I hear the word fuzzy pronounced like it sounds pervert. I became a SW Technical Project Lead for 2 yrs without getting my old senior status back and no assurance of getting it on my 3rd yr. That's how I decided it's not the company for me.
