Pros

- New projects coming in at fast speed; - Training is offered regularly on Hardware topics; - Friendly colleagues and lots of opportunity for learning;

Cons

. Extremely disruptive security layers/infrastructure that impair effective working; . Confusing and at times quite frustrating tool license management. Team had to stop mid project because licenses were not scheduled for renewal and we couldn't use any for 1-2 weeks. . Ethics issues when it comes to arranging contracts with clients (deadlines are unreasonably tight, goals are not realistic and will need to be revised later in the project); . Hardware design culture in the company is not mature (this can be a good or bad thing);
