Pros

The work-life balance is good for the reason above. Work will mostly come in waves, but for the most part, it is an easy 9-to-5 job.

Everyday, you can relive the scene from "The Expert." (Google it).

Subsidized dinner: $5 off any meal.

Cons

The management is dysfunctional, with no clear goals.

There is zero transparency on future products and revenue.

No one takes responsibility for their actions, focusing instead on blaming the next person down the corporate ladder.

The smart and creative engineers leave within two years of joining.

There's a strong emphasis on collecting data that doesn't make any sense.

Politics drives this company.

This place is toxic and poor for new graduates.

The motto of "speed of light" is ridiculous. This is just a term used by management when they realize a project encounters a major setback because they sacrificed too much quality for unrealistic deadlines and cost. This typically results in engineers (individual contributors) working on the weekend.
