Pros

Decent pay. Good people. They just need to be allowed to do what they were trained to do.

Cons

This is absolutely the most toxic environment I have ever worked in. No time to do a proper job. Prototypes released with known problems. Engineers are throwing together evaluation boards from semiconductor vendors without truly understanding how they work. Cant blame the Engineers. What can you do when you have such a short design cycle. There isnt any time to research a problem and come up with a design to address the problem. Any product coming out of this facility is a ticking time bomb.
