Pros

Stock growth due to core Hardware business.

Cons

Their core system software may be OK (those C/C++ teams).

But those internal tooling/supporting teams are terrible.

These are the so-called infra/cloud teams.

Although they advertise that they are a hardware company that has built its software strength, the truth is that good software practice is poor.

As for the quality of SW infra in a hardware company, decide it for yourself.

Some groups have bad process and tech stacks.

Work has little skill involved but lots of drama and politics.

Often, people need to stay late to work with colleagues from different timezones.
