- 5.0Great place to workHardware Engineer • Current EmployeeShanghai, ChinaMay 13, 2024Pros: There is good flexibility for working time. There is great technology of product.Cons: There was a lack of training, but it is okay.
- 5.0Best work life balance I’ve hadHardware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Jose, CaliforniaDecember 1, 2022Pros: Management is hands off and allows me to work as I please as long as tasks get finished. Hours are flexible and it’s hybrid with two days coming into the office. There are global recharge days so each month usually has one or two three-day weekends. The biggest pro for me was unlimited PTO which allowed me to take time off as long as my manager approved.Cons: Many different teams and I will find myself being pulled into helping other teams with their work. Piled with various tasks including non-engineering tasks such as managing the funds for the team along with ordering for our department, the material I’ve learned doesn’t seem too helpful if deciding to move to a different sector.
