Pros

High potential for growth Solid engineering staff Decent benefits package Sabbatical program means time away from work to recharge your batteries

Cons

Decision making diffused between too many people - takes too long to make decisions. Takes too many people to get work done relative to other companies Engineering concentrates too much on building microprocessor cores, not microprocessor chips

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
