Pros

Work with some of the best embedded systems engineers anywhere

Cons

Many benefits are going away or being reduced. For example, stock based compensation is being reduced or eliminated for most people. Healthcare benefits are being reduced from fully covered to partially covered over next 2 years (health savings plan... blah blah blah). Work life balance is absolutely horrific for many people in engineering ranks. Bloated middle management.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
