Vantaggi
Very smart group of engineers with good teamwork and friendly culture. This company works to make bleeding edge technology function in an everyday setting to do real work, not just make fancy 1-off prototypes that cannot be produced at scale. The things invented here are going to have an impact wherever they are used. Benefits and compensation are competitive in the industry. Extra company holidays support a healthy work-life balance for employees. There is a lot to learn at this company, and people who are excited about the technology and willing to do what it takes to deliver. Engineers of any skill level could learn something here.
Svantaggi
For software specifically, I think the weakness of agile can be seen in some instances where work cannot be packaged within sprint sized tasks. There's probably something that can be done to further customize planning around the particular job to make the operation run smoother. It does work for the most part. For some people daily meetings take away from every engineers time; there needs to be a heightened awareness around this that makes these valuable enough to justify or a dialing back the frequency to where it is optimal. The relationships that CRL has with partner companies can make things a bit complicated at times. These partners are industry leaders and that can make driving the project forward a bit of an exercise in certain cases. A lot of time is spent in maintaining this as well.
