Pros

Strong engineering culture with talented teammates who care deeply about the product. Good opportunities to work on interesting hardware/software problems across Bluetooth, firmware, and robotics. Reasonable work-life balance and autonomy on projects.

Cons

Company direction has felt uncertain in recent years, which affects team morale and long-term planning. Career growth can be slow depending on your org. Resources and headcount have tightened, making it harder to execute at the pace the work deserves.
