Pros

Focus and direction is fairly clear. CEO runs a tight ship, so company is sound.

Cons

Culture is very old-fashioned, not that of a traditional software company (if you're working in a software business unit). Very poor and frugal selection of tools for engineers. Example would be google spaces instead of slack.

Pros

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
