Pros

Good cafe, good gym, good location of campus, beautiful campus, ample of parking space, good cubicles. Overall good benefits. Good HW engineering teams. Lot of learning opportunities and get opportunity to develop and learn from scratch. Excellent for fresh SW engineers and for HW engineers at any level.

Cons

SW is developing with not much expertise. SW contribution is not rewarded properly and mostly driven by politics and contacts. Managers are naive and don't know how to treat good engineers. Struggling to achieve balance in cost cutting and keeping quality.

In the process of struggle losing lot of customers and declining revenue of wifi segment and had to sell it off. CEO is salesperson and is more inclined towards buying and selling companies than making any radical technical transformation. Company structure is good for investors.

Some engineers are valued based on contacts and personal relationships with managers. Managers have too much freedom and mostly engaged in quarrels. Very minimal approach of collaborative community.
