Pros

As a layout designer i have had the opportunity t work closely with circuit designers and learn more about the circuits. The culture makes it easier to ask questions and learn even though you are not required to.

Cons

because of tight schedule of projectsand comparatively less employees, may need to overwork.

Was really bad at first, but improved during my time there

Business Outlook

Pros

Many very talented engineers working at the company. Aggressive, critical, negative management chased away tons of talent, but they eventually learned from their behaviors which led to a work environment that shifted from terrible to tolerable. Seems to be good at sniffing out profitable acquisitions.

Cons

"we are better than everyone" egotistical smugness, while treating the engineerings with combative attitudes. High attrition and difficulty hiring results in even longer work-weeks. Vacation+Sick lumped into single "PTO" means people show up to work sick, otherwise they have to use their vacation time. And when I was there pre-covid, management wanted butts in seats, very little work-from-home flexibility, because they didn't trust anyone. Low salary in belief of stock being the retaining force.
