Great company overall - just stay away from Auto OEM

Pros

Great benefits (healthcare, 401k match, stock purchase plan), talented engineers

Cons

Salaries are on the low side overall. For the Auto OEM department specifically, there are multiple silos in the group. The department cannot agree on common tools to use (ex: requirements tool is different between system and hardware/software engineers). There is a lack of planning, which leads to fire after fire as engineers scramble to get components ready in time. Lots of late nights and weekends because of this. Other departments do not suffer from this scramble, and are much better run.
