Pros

Generally great work atmosphere, generally little politics, freedom and encouragement to communicate across the board.

Cons

sometimes political, no promotions, lengthy review process and absolutely no work from home, like a secretary. Cult of Jack Little. Cult of admiration to seniority.

Pros

Strong work-life balance; reasonable hours and low burnout Smart, helpful colleagues and collaborative culture Stable company with solid products (MATLAB/Simulink) Good benefits and campus perks (food, gym, etc.)

Cons

Development pace can feel slow and process-heavy May not be ideal if you’re optimizing for fast career growth, cutting-edge tech, or top-tier compensation.
