Pros

Benefit: Health/Dental/Vision insurance, HSA, charity match.

Compensation: Salary/Bonus/ESPP/RSU/patent bonus.

Interesting technology.

San Diego is a very nice city.

Cons

Leadership vision: It is a hardware company and doesn't know how to do SW well, missing many opportunities on the SW side.

Lack of understanding of end users. The company is technology-focused.

Slow execution, especially on expanding beyond core technologies.

Advice to Management

Looking beyond core business and current adjacent business. Competition is catching up very quickly.
