Pros
Strong technical talent on the team, meaningful product challenges, and opportunities to contribute in complex embedded and firmware work. Benefits are good
Cons
--Leadership structure created significant dysfunction. --Senior technical leaders were publicly criticized and had their credibility questioned in group settings, creating a hostile and unprofessional environment. --"Optics" Over "Physics": Technical reality is often treated as a "tone problem" or "lack of credibility" if it interferes with a board-mandated date. --The environment discourages honest feedback and created fear of retaliation for raising concerns. --The "Yes Culture" creates a back-breaking 80–90 hour work week that masks deep systemic issues and vendor dependency failures.
