Pros

Excellent benefits. Opportunity to work on developing software for cutting-edge silicon. Unfortunately, the software is often subpar due to the company's hardware focus.

Cons

Pay for software engineers is below market rate for most geographic areas. The company is not a software company, so expect to work with outdated tools and methodologies.

Usual office politics apply here. Get promoted by how much you network rather than technical contributions.

Advice to Management

BK needs to stop bullshitting employees in his business update meetings. Most of us see through it and lose faith in management due to the lies.
