      Great company

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting work, great future, It's a high tech startup, so work is demanding, but salary and benefits are great.

      Cons

      It's not a place to punch a clock. They're very flexible with work hours and remote work, but if your personal life demands a consistent 9-5 schedule it's best to look elsewhere.

      Dumpster Fire. Run as fast as you can

      Design verification engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Okay Base Salary - RISCV exposure

      Cons

      - No 401K matching - Burning huge amounts of cash - Top Heavy managment, where they hire too many staff engineers and no entry level or mid level engineers to do the actual work - Lazy and incompetent engineers. They all got hired because they could not go anywhere else - Management has no vision. Only one motive: Copy ARM

      Great vision and isn't afraid to shake up tradition

      Software engineer ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Close interaction between teams; you aren't shoved into a silo where you never learn other teams' faces - Flexible work-from-home and remote options - Good recognition of developer initiative and discretion - Very friendly, welcoming, and supportive people, without divisive office politicking - Still got a startup's dynamic feel to the work, but has grown enough to have a solid foundation

      Cons

      - Pay varies based on employee location (which I support, adapting to cost-of-living) but without much transparency on how *much* of a cut you might take if you move further remote (which makes financial planning difficult) - Release candidates aren't always cleanly cut as the deadlines approach, leading to some churn as fixes and occasional features are finalized and backported to both main and versioned branches at once
