Pros

Free food and cool car. Lots of senior engineers to latch off of to learn technical skills and best-practices. Especially if you are interested in embedded systems and functional safety. Can also gain access to some cutting edge technology to build your experience profile. Management can act as good mentors. Work-life balance has improved a lot.

Cons

Weak reward system and no real goal-posts, making performance reviews very grey.

Pros

Competitive salary. Lunch and hot drinks provided by on-site cafeteria. Easy access from the Eastlink. Sycophancy takes you a long way.

Cons

Dysfunctional and chaotic management. 9 hours per day of work expected (paid for only 7.6). Projects repeatedly cancelled. No focus or vision. Management does not care about your honest feedback - you will be scolded for disloyalty and “not believing in the company.” CEO does weird shoulder rub thing to employees that he’s disciplining.
