Pros
The people make it a great place to work. Fantastic engineers and an open collaborative approach to problem solving. The work is always interesting, using the latest tools and technology. Benefits are decent the more senior you are, can always be better of course. :) The office building is new and state of the art, very nice space to work in. The collaboration with universities keeps the office vibrant.
Cons
The executive team is very weak. No idea how to run the product company they claim to be. If it’s not an M&A they don’t know what to do. The next big thing changes every year, zero long term strategy or execution. Search for a short piece on cnbc about rubric capital and Xperi, search for “cnbc rubric capital xperi”, it has a very good analysis with data of the failures for shareholders. During covid while the company had a pay freeze the CEO continued to get a pay raise. Repeatedly saying “the market doesn’t understand us” while spending an eternity on DEI every AEM gets old really fast.
