Pros

gym on site, cafeteria food is not bad. Medical benefit is ok.

Cons

cutting cost to bone. Low compensation, a lot of work with unrealistic deadline and no training. Culture is very different from group to group. So beware of the culture of the group that you will work in. Very poor and unprofessional people management. Manager don't care about employees' career or needs, only care about the projects and their own career advancement. If you're in the lower bottom of the pyramid, you'd rather look for somewhere else for career advancement. The company take advantage of immigrants who needs H1B or greencard sponsor, and provide below market compensation. If you receive a low-ball offer, make sure you negotiate what you deserve or better go somewhere else.

Pros

I worked with highly talented engineers on challenging projects and learned a great deal about embedded systems and software development. The engineering culture encouraged collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning, making it an excellent place to grow professionally.

Cons

As with many large organizations, some processes and decision-making could be slow, and cross-team coordination occasionally added delays to project execution.
