Pros

Interesting work for hardware and software designers.

Decent salaries and benefits.

Cons

Recently, the company decided to move all engineers from conventional cubicles (which have been shrinking for years) to semi-open workspaces that are not very accommodating to work requiring concentration. What's even worse, they now want to get rid of the notion of personal cubicles and let all engineers share a single pool of cubicles (per team) on a first-come, first-served basis. Engineers are supposed to vacate the cubicle even when they need to leave for two hours (say, for a meeting). The company wants to save a few cents on real estate at the expense of ruining the work environment for employees.
