Pros

Great co-workers, generally all us IC 'plebs' are pretty nice to work with and actually care for each other. Trying to be very inclusive. Actual Female engineers, extremely high number of cultures (almost 1:2, one culture for every 2 persons, within the engineering department at the very least). General a lot of thought is put into events (gay-pride etc), mindfulness/meditation/mental-health etc. The thought definitely counts here. Great _potential_ for product, services and place to work.

Cons

Management is completely in the dark in what we do, where we are, what we should do to get where we want to be, should be. Strong lack of direction of the products and constantly changing directions/priorities. The 'next generation' can't even do what the previous generation of products did after 3 years of serious development (due to the above). Inexperienced top (managers etc) that sit on top of the engineers that have no idea nor are realistic. Extremely stressful environment. Many went through burn-out/quit because of it (mostly due to unrealistic expectations/pressure). More managers then actual engineers to build the products that are needed. Best talent has long left and was not fought (hard enough) for. Went from thinking like a startup Way to long (with plenty lack of procedures) to scaling up and going over board with procedures (there's even procedure to manage procedures). Management does not listen and even more so, does not change anything. Teams have to build them selves, there's little/no help in creating opportunities to build teams anymore. Not competitive salary and benefits. Sustainability is no longer a key driver (sustainability is also only thought of as 'it's a charger for an EV, that's sustainable). All negative comments from others are 'spot on'.
