Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing. Don't expect to do great things here.

Cons

No raises, no bonuses (even thought that's supposed to be a perk), no capital for new tools or equipment. They feed you RSUs instead of raises and there's no way to move up in the company - dead end job.

Overall, good company culture and direction. CEO actually understands engineering.

Bad pay to start with and then additionally pay cuts implemented despite good profit margins due to "volatile economic conditions".
