Pros

Opportunity to work in different groups over the years. Good variety of product markets learned. Ability to move between hardware, software and system engineering jobs. Profit sharing bonus has been good for a number of years.

Cons

More focused concentration on chip level market exploration, less large system prototyping to explore markets. Less team work, more individual result rewarded. Very top performers are highly compensated, with minimal compensation for everyone else.

Pros

Provides basic experience in embedded systems, writing barebones C projects, interacting with customers for debugging their issues, writing datasheet, TRM, and customer facing collateral to train new or existing customers on the MCU.

Cons

Toxic work culture, everything is urgent and it's always a yes we can do this without given enough resources Expect to be burnt out after 2 years unless something changes in management No defined goals or tangible projects given, you're pretty much on your own and how you develop your success. The mentorship and managers don't really care what you do, but they want you to work on something Underpaid position for the amount of work that is expected from you Expect early morning calls and late evening calls, best of luck if you find how to manage these expectations
