Pros

Fair salary, good HR support, good working environment in general, moderate pressure, flexible hours, good mid managers

Cons

Achievers, pro-active engineers are not welcome by upper managers: what should be considered as an added value is actually treated like a major disrupting issue; basically upper managers expect people to "walk in the pack" without making proposals or striving to improve their performance and visibility. Definitely not the right place for ambitious R&D guys.

Pros

The company has strong technical products and many talented engineers. There are opportunities to work on meaningful engineering and verification challenges, and I had positive technical collaborations with several strong engineers.

Cons

Employee experience can vary significantly depending on local management. In my experience, feedback and escalation did not always feel transparent or actionable. I would encourage future employees to pay close attention to how expectations, performance concerns, and speak-up issues are handled in practice. Company culture should not be judged only by perks, free food, snacks, or friendly messaging. Core values like ethics, integrity, and speaking up are truly tested during difficult situations — when there is conflict, disagreement, or concerns raised about management behavior. That is when employees see whether values are truly lived or mostly written on paper. I would also be thoughtful about employee surveys. Even when surveys are described as anonymous, discussing results openly at a small-group or team level can make employees question whether their feedback is truly protected. If people feel comments can be traced back to a small group, they may stop being honest.
