Pros

Great people, wide innovative product line.

Cons

The tail does not wag the dog - software has limited influence on hardware design.

Many times I've found issues while building kernel support for new/enhanced hardware, which could have been avoided if the design had been shared with software before tapeout.

It is not uncommon in hardware-driven companies, but frustration builds as it keeps happening.

Advice to Management

Hw/Sw co-design, or you'll always be playing catch-up
