Pros

Provides basic experience in embedded systems, writing barebones C projects, interacting with customers for debugging their issues, writing datasheet, TRM, and customer facing collateral to train new or existing customers on the MCU.

Cons

Toxic work culture, everything is urgent and it's always a yes we can do this without given enough resources Expect to be burnt out after 2 years unless something changes in management No defined goals or tangible projects given, you're pretty much on your own and how you develop your success. The mentorship and managers don't really care what you do, but they want you to work on something Underpaid position for the amount of work that is expected from you Expect early morning calls and late evening calls, best of luck if you find how to manage these expectations

Individual contribution is awarded. Promotion opportunities are provided. Benefits are awesome.

Individuals that don’t contribute are not penalized. Occasional instability but not for hard working knowledgeable people.

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
