Pros

Work is challenging and good opportunities to strengthen skills in FW debugging. Lower managers and other engineering staff are very respectful and good to work with. Bonuses are excellent. Technology sharing is encouraged.

Cons

Surprise layoffs and attrition in the past few years have been hurting moral. Hard to be promoted. Code is matured and not much opportunity to do any major code development.
