Pros

Stock is doing well, people go easy on you

Cons

So boring. The job is stupid easy (basic C++, signal processing up until band pass filters, RGB encodings) so I don’t know why they insist on hiring the same bland introvert over and over with a high GPA and a masters degree. It takes very little analytical skill and getting some more dynamic personalities would make it far less culturally dead. The team I was first put in had a super high turnover rate

Pros

Decent compensation, good communication, lots of smart people. I think there are pretty good opportunities to learn and move into new job opportunities, and we're creating and testing the next generation of technologies in the lab. That's pretty cool. They actually fund R&D and don't seem to be cutting long term plans for short term profits. Wallstreet usually destroys larger engineering firms...

Cons

-The work life balance can be off. I think there is good flexibility, but a lot of pressure to work outside of normal hours/weekends. -They implemented an "unlimited time off policy", but my VP was like "well, you can't have unlimited time off, so <5 years is 15 days etc, here's a PTO policy that doesn't accrue and we don't have to pay out." -They are resisting fully remote work for most employees. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves.
