Pros

A very professional, collaborative environment.

Upward mobility is possible if you work hard and contribute game-changing ideas.

With the rise of AI, the company and its employees are poised to do very well.

You can explore different areas of interest, and your manager can even lend you out to other teams for periods of time if you'd like.

Our benefits package is awesome. The base salary is good.

Cons

We don't exactly get great discounts on our own company's products, which is a shame.

If you have to work on chip bringup, depending on your role, you may need to work 70+ hours per week for a few weeks.

There is no xmas or end-of-year bonus.

Advice to Management

First, they took our options and replaced them with RSUs. That hurt. But when the CEO took our RSUs and replaced them with a much less valuable 'guaranteed annual base wage increase' program, many employees were devastated as our stock shot up into 100+ territory. That was a very terrible thing to do to us. We didn't deserve to have our RSUs taken away like that.

My advice to management is to be a little more conscious of how these decisions can affect the future livelihoods of most employees.
