Pros

Work flexibility is great. Talented and hard-working engineers make work fun and interesting.

Cons

Constant fear of layoffs, average-to-low pay. Especially in recent years, even top performers are potential candidates for layoff, with low bonus/pay increases.

Advice to Management

Have a balanced approach. There is by factors too much focus on investors and way too little investment on IP and product development. This has to be rebalanced.
