Pros

A wide range of things to work on. A relatively flat company for its size, "low-ranking" people can be influential. Informal, fun atmosphere, not much "corporate culture" shoved down your throat.

Hard-working people with initiative are valued and given substantial autonomy. People who just want to do a job reasonably well get a job to do.

Most key people were promoted from within the company, especially from algorithm development. You can get similarly promoted, too.

Cons

A fairly chaotic place. Not the place you want to learn management skills at. Compensation depends a bit too much on making an impression and negotiation skills, this might change with the recent Intel acquisition.

Stupid little things (falsely) scream "we don't value employees": small screens, parking shortage, missives in toilets about toilet paper use, etc. I advise to ignore these things - the people running the building are not the people running R&D.

Most key people were promoted from within the company, especially from algorithm development. This results in a degree of intellectual inbreeding, skewed towards algorithm development and away from other things.

Advice to Management

Look a bit further into the future and plan ahead.

Hire senior technical people from outside the company in addition to promoting from within.
