Very high tech environment, visibility to the whole electronics design chain Super smart people Good salary & benefits Traditionally good community involvement

Cons

Constant leadership changes Lack of focus on fundamentals and execution Poor process and tools to support software development Too many management layers, too much politics Lack of architecture focus; no strong CTO function or other way to integrate various products under a standard set of architectural standards (for UI, database, frameworks, coding standards, etc.)
