      Pros

      Many employees are smart, talented, interesting and helpful. Benefits are mostly fair.

      Cons

      Breeds apathy. Lacking in culture, principles and coordination. Daily environment is chaotic and stifling. Missing fertility for learning and enrichment. Turnover is high. Work/life balance is low. Not recommended if you require lifework fulfillment. Majority of employees are soured. Salaries are below average.

      A fun place to work, but they need to get their act together.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Flexible hours. -Co-workers are nice. -Payment is usually prompt. -Products are fun and exciting to design. -Small company = lots of contribution.

      Cons

      -Small company = lots of egos to butt heads with. -When I worked freelance, there were 17 permanent employees, ten of which were managers. -Not willing to pay for market research. -Starting pay was just over half of industry starting pay rate. -Lots of "can't" and very little "can do." -Insist on picking the lamest possible names for their products. -Will have ten hours of meetings with nothing accomplished, then just go with whatever upper management wants regardless of market research. -Have been trying to acquire new offices for two years, but still in the same shared office with another company. -Licenses near-useless technology, then criticize consultants for not being able to think up markets for it. -As for their robots: call them "legs" all you want, Bossa Nova. They're just wheels.

      Worst that other startup.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Free food. You can do challenging job if you end up in the software group. A lot of integration and testing if you end up in embedded system group as most hardware are ready made or subcontracted outside.

      Cons

      Management seems to be at lost. No quality control and process resulting in low quality output. Too much politics and it seems when a problem arise, patch instead of finding a solution is the approach.
