Pros

* The best Android and embedded systems team you'll find, anywhere. * First year was electric and even though the company is a smoldering rotting carcass now, the former staff are still close friends. * The open-source project that was the foundation of the company is still going strong.

Cons

* Narcissistic former CEO ruined the company's culture and reputation, pushed out the original founder, then got himself fired. Looks like hostile takeover now. * New management team is clueless. Didn't know what they had, wouldn't listen to anyone who did, fired all the engineers (troublemakers) and product teams. * Design teams are kept spinning for months on end by CEO creating "vision pieces" which never see the light of day * Awful HR management who only comes to the office to fire people * Exec team doesn't care about anything other than backstabbing each other and taking shortcuts.

Pros

The people are nice and I learned a lot from the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Lack of communication, c-suite manages in absentia and doesn't take accountability. Promotes a toxic culture of smoke and mirrors and doesn't reward hard work and commitment.
