Pros

Very shallow organization. Only 4 levels of hierarchy between engineer and CEO. Entire management chain is highly technical and hands on in most groups. For someone with enthusiasm and motivation there are endless opportunities and possibilities. There is some politics but very minimal.

Cons

Lack of long term product roadmap at the executive level. This results in unnecessary thrashing and schedule pressure at the engineering level.

Pros

I worked with highly talented engineers on challenging projects and learned a great deal about embedded systems and software development. The engineering culture encouraged collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning, making it an excellent place to grow professionally.

Cons

As with many large organizations, some processes and decision-making could be slow, and cross-team coordination occasionally added delays to project execution.
