Tough Hours for IoT Developers in San Diego

Pros: You get to work on cutting-edge IoT modules. The pay is decent for an embedded systems development role. Team is pretty solid and supportive when things get really busy.
Cons: Work-life balance as a Firmware Engineer is really tough. Expect long hours, especially before major product launches for wireless communication. The onsite work expectation in the San Diego office means less flexibility.
Advice to Management: Please reconsider the workload expectations for engineers. There's a lot of burnout, especially in embedded systems development. More flexible work arrangements could really help. Show more

High pressure, low work-life balance

Pros: The technology and products are genuinely interesting. As a Software Engineer, I got to dive deep into cutting-edge IoT development and embedded systems. The team here in San Diego, CA, is pretty smart and collaborative.
Cons: Work-life balance is a constant struggle, especially with global deadlines. Expect regular 50-60 hour weeks, which really impacts personal time. It feels like a very corporate environment, making it hard to disconnect.
Advice to Management: Managers need to prioritize employee well-being and set realistic project timelines. Burnout is a real issue when people consistently work 50+ hours. Show more

Decent IoT Work, But Job Security Is Spotty

Pros: I liked being on the cutting edge of the IoT industry, especially with new cellular modules. It was cool to see our products deployed, and the San Diego office had some really smart people.
Cons: Job security is a major concern. There's constant restructuring, and you hear about people being let go without much warning. For a Technical Sales Engineer, it makes planning your career tough.
Advice to Management: Be more transparent about company direction and avoid sudden, widespread layoffs. Better communication about roles and future plans would really help morale and retain talent. Show more
