Pros

Good employee benefits, including attractive perks, bonuses, and regular salary hikes. Strong stock (RSU) program, making long-term compensation quite rewarding. Excellent opportunities in the embedded systems domain. Good exposure to low-level engineering, including kernel development and Linux driver work. Supportive team environment with helpful collaboration on work-related tasks. Overall strong learning experience in hardware-near software development.

Cons

Limited opportunities for software engineers not working in embedded or low-level domains. Less exposure to higher-level application or product-layer development than expected. Career growth may feel narrower for engineers outside the embedded focus areas.
