Pros

The pay is more than average. There is WFH, and there are cool ICs.

Cons

Due to recent evaluation changes, work-life balance is getting terrible.

Some PMs have no clue on how their products work, and engineers clean up their mess.

Some EMs suck up to their bosses and don't care about their engineers.

Advice to Management

Listen to people who make things happen first-hand, not only to managers. Hire PMs and EMs who understand technologies.
