Pros

Love working here. Flat org structure on the electronics side. Get to own a lot of stuff, work cross functionally and learn stuff and everybody is kind of fun to be around.

Cons

Since I started working here in 2019, the company (especially on the auto side) is starting to feel less like small/nimble and more like a big company. More processes, more people, more teams, orgs starting to get bigger vertically. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just a little cumbersome if you're looking to be an intense EE that gets to iterate quickly. Compensation is also kind of negative - they pay you like the stock is still 10x-ing every so often. I've got about a 2x, but not as high as the rather low equity compensation packages equal.

Pros

The benefits and pay were well above the competition.

Cons

But the management definitely is bias when it comes to promotions.
