      Not that flexible but still okay

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome coworkers Decent benefits Lots to do

      Cons

      40 hour work week, 8 hours a day (NOT counting lunch, which really makes it 9 hours a day) is the only option. Working from home on a regular basis is not an option.

      Highly collaborative

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Well-diversified stable company, separate segments serve numerous markets (aviation, automotive, automotive OEM, marine, outdoor, fitness) - Variety of types of embedded development work depending on the segment, including some interesting innovation. - Highly collaborative environment, emphasizes face-to-face interaction and individual ownership/initiative - Your role is not dictated by your title, tenure, or org chart. Pay, responsibilities, and autonomy grow organically with your initiative/contribution. - Plenty of opportunities for growth on either the "technical" or "management" tracks - Company does its own manufacturing (in US and Taiwan), very little outsourcing of any kind. - Good benefits - Approx 40hr work-week is just fine most of the time (good work-life balance)

      Cons

      - Many segments develop using languages and operating systems that aren't considered cutting edge (C/C++ and in-house OS) - Due to company size, some types of technical and process improvements can be difficult or slow to make. - Less flexible than some companies regarding when working hours occur, work from home, etc.

      Pros

      Decent salary for the industry, very good health and 401k benefits, decent vacation.

      Cons

      Your experience depends greatly on your manager; some managers are great and working for them is great. some managers make you wish you worked for Dilbert's boss.
