Pros

Good salary, good peer colleagues

Cons

Over 2 years, i had no performance related negative written notes or warnings. Without any hint i was suddenly laid off with just a simple statement "there is mismatch between my skills and future requirements". This despite my contributing to 1) Systems Algorithms 2) Digital RTL 3) Evaluation of new projects in Free-Space-Optics. I was given decent severance after my strong protest to HR in Carlsbad, CA. The management here in OH gave me assurances about my suitability when i joined and induced me to move here to Cleveland.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
