Pros

A stable business that you can earn your salary if you work hard enough - which depends on your team. Opportunities to learn and get exposed to different aspects of consumer electronics development cycles due to its size and fairly open environment

Cons

Leadership delivered promises based on dreamt numbers, not projectable facts. Marketing tricks were used to boost internal morality while the reality at the end hurts the other way. Honesty to its capability is questionable

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
