Pros

People are nice and the workload is not that heavy(minimal overtime). Working hours are a little flexible.

Cons

I was a senior from my previous company and offered a junior job since they're saying because my experience was not automotive(an indication of how little they know about embedded systems). I got frustrated upon hearing a lot of things like calling the P.I. controller as Pi(pie), I was asked by my boss what FW means(understandable on some EU companies because FW is still SW for them but my boss is not from EU), and a senior engineer wasn't even sure if 0xD8 can really be assigned to a signed int8. They I hear the word fuzzy pronounced like it sounds pervert. I became a SW Technical Project Lead for 2 yrs without getting my old senior status back and no assurance of getting it on my 3rd yr. That's how I decided it's not the company for me.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
