CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flex time - Work at home - Comfortable offices - Not much pressure

Cons

- Boring place for software developers - Cost oriented (the cheaper the better) - You have the worst of startups and big corporations. Very limited resources and a bunch of bureaucracy even for the simplest things. - Salaries are at least 50% less than other companies in the area. (Due to currency devaluation) - After the merger of Freescale and NXP, the company stops attracting talented people. - If you are in an irrelevant location, chances of growing in your career are seriously affected.
