Fun-Fast Paced Environment

Pros

Small but rapidly expanding company. As a smaller company, your input is actually accepted and your able to assist in the development and implementation of new processes and procedures. PTO, 401K, and other benefits. Accommodating to your work schedule if you need to come slightly early/later as long as it doesn't severely affect the rest of the team.

Cons

The flip side of being a small expanding company is the standard growing pains. Multiple projects, interruptions and bouncing from project to project to keep up with deadlines.

Exciting Place to Work

Pros

Boundary Devices is a great company to work for. They provide an opportunity to contribute and to make the difference. As at any small company you will be wearing multiple hats which also means that you can learn a lot. The environment is fast paced and exciting. Every role matters. They also provide excellent benefits (401K with matching, insurance, vacation/paid time off and small perks, like coffee/tea/snacks and birthday parties).

Cons

The fast growth pace makes it difficult sometimes to keep up with your work assignments.

Pros

-Interesting and varied work (U-Boot, Linux Kernel, Android, Yocto, OpenGL, writing blog posts etc.) -flexible hours (I often would come in at 10:30-11 and work till 7 and occaisonally come it at like 6 am and work till 2-3.

Cons

Low Pay, no benefits (would have gotten some had I stayed longer but they were paltry compared to large employers in the area (Intel, Garmin, General Dynamics, Microchip etc.) Interrupt driven. Because it is a small company and their main business is custom boards not the boards you can buy on their site, there is a lot of customer interaction via email, blog posts/comments etc. You are constantly working on different things and stopping your work to talk with customers. You usually have several things at once and never work/focus on one project for very long. The most interesting thing I did there was create a proof of concept Bayer Demosaicing program in OpenGL ES, working with the Vivante tools, developing it on the desktop and the board. That spanned about a week and a half and I was doing other things the whole time I was working on it but it was the most focused I ever got.
