Pros

The company has great technology. The company is the front runner in the field of fingerprint sensors. The technology behind the sensors gives Authentec a clear edge on the competition; spoofing is just about impossible. Even though the company is fairly sizable it still have the feel of a small start up.

Cons

As with any software related position- the hours required to get the job done. It's also located in Melbourne Florida, one of the quietest places that I've ever come across. Aside from the beach there is nothing else to do in this town. Little to no culture about the place... Good thing Orlando is only about an hour's drive away..

Pros

The team at AuthenTec is dedicated, experienced, and very intelligent. Their ability to churn out new, and breakthrough, silicon products is impressive to say the least. It is a small, startup-ish, company so you get to wear a lot of different hats and work on a number of projects.

Cons

Feedback from management can be spotty. I question the strategic direction certain members of management seem intent on pursuing. Software development is pitiful.
