Vantaggi
There are decent exit opportunities because the greater Seattle area is littered with dozens of ex-Systima employees happy to rescue current employees.
Svantaggi
People have made clear on here most of the downsides - bad pay, toxic culture, 0 opportunity for advancement, irresponsible management of some dying projects. One hoped that the recent acquisition would lead to some kind of shakeup but things are the same as ever. Special shoutout to lack of safety standards in build rooms & during tests & people being required to transport hardware in their personal vehicles. Also beware of ridiculous fake reviews from HR on here like "wow 9/80s are so great!" - it should be clear what is happening when you see only 1 or2 star reviews with random low-effort 5 stars thrown in there.
