Ideal for slackers who don't mind working for a poor management team

Hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work life balance is good for the reason above. Work will mostly come in a waves but for the most part it is an easy 9-5 job. Everyday you can relive the scene from "The Expert". *Google it* Subsidized dinner - $5 off of any meal

Cons

The management is dysfunctional with no goal Zero transparency on future products and revenue No one takes responsibility of their actions and focuses on blaming the next guy down corporate ladder. The smart and creative engineers leave within 2 years of joining Strong emphasis on collecting data that doesn't make any sense Politics drives this company. This place is toxic and poor for new graduates The motto of speed of light is ridiculous. This is just a term used by management when they realized when the project encounters a major setback because they sacrificed too much quality for unrealistic deadlines and cost. Typically results in engineers (individual contributors) to work on the weekend.

Good engineering, lack of planning/marketing hurts

Hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people are great to work with. Base pay is excellent and work/life balance can be achieved. Lots of autonomy means you can explore.

Cons

The lack of upfront planning and decisiveness means lots and lots of thrash downstream in the product life cycle. No bonus or raises for several years now means stagnant compensation.
