Pros
Very smart people, good documentation practices, products are probably gonna keep the company alive for many more years
Cons
- Super outdated technologies, employees here know nothing more than semiconductors. If you are a hardware engineer/designer, this is ok to ignore, but if you are not, you are working in a company that runs technologies back in 2005. - Non-existent benefit package. For a company this big, it is hard to imagine that you do not get any 401k contribution and your salary is below market average (about 15%). Very weak bonus package (as low as 20 dollars per quarter, no joke), very weak medical packages. Little to no perks. - Micromanages a lot. - Company shut down actually uses your own PTO - Too much politics to even think about career growth. - Too many old farts who worked here for 25, 30, 35 years who don't know anything about newer technologies (and therefore the company still runs, but will never grow in today's world) Overall, it is a very very dry place to work. You work long hours to get the bare minimum, literally nothing exciting, The company is not really "sinking" per se, but they definitely care very little about you. The stocks won't go anywhere so you can forget about it.
