Pros

Good learning opportunity how to run complex HW+SW engineering project in a diverse global team. Stable environment. Reasonable people. May enjoy occasional world traveling.

Cons

Slow growth. Salaries below local average. People mostly communicate poorly with poor English. People mostly are not capable of learning and adapting to new technologies and innovations. Virtually no feedback culture. Poor information system. Hard industry where low hanging fruit have been collected a long time ago - have to work 80% hard to get rest of 20%.

Pros

Good place for people starting careers. Decent salary and non monetary benefits for the bay area.

Cons

Very demanding, and poor work life balance for individual contributors. No stock or RSU for individual contributors. Senior management not appreciative of the hard work and effort put in to achieve targets by individuals. No growth within company.
