Pros

- Etherstack has offices all over the world, and customers all over the US and beyond. If you enjoy travelling, there's plenty of opportunity here. - Etherstack is constantly innovating, and creating new products. Don't get too comfortable with the project you're working on, you'll probably be working on a new one next quarter! - I'm disagreeing with another reviewer on this one. Because the company is so small and geographically dispersed, there is plenty of opportunity for job-diversification. An Etherstack employee will find themselves "wearing many hats." Developers don't just write code, they participate at every stage in the process. You'll participate in sales-proposals. You'll be deploying the product (both hardware and software!) on customer sites. You'll be providing direct post-sales customer support and training.

Cons

- Just like another reviewer mentions, the pace of innovation can mean that a lot of projects get only half done, or you have to drop what you're doing entirely to move onto whatever the current critical project is.

Pros

- Engineers are really knowledgeable and passionate about their trade and craft and are readily willing to teach you - Senior and principal engineers are always willing and available to teach you about proper design and code - Excellent medical benefits, vacation time

Cons

- Little time is afforded to go back to existing code and fix it up. Instead, emphasis is on getting out the next product for a customer. - Geographical sparseness of company offices makes arranging meetings very difficult at times

Pros

Engineers here are some of the best and brightest you will meet.

Cons

Your individual performance is meaningless. Even if the team does well there is no tangible benefit. There is no one to speak to about career progression. HR is slow and unappreciative.
