Margins for hardware tend to be thinner than software which typically means less salary, not as nice offices, and more bean counters.

I imagine there are exceptions to this rule (Nvidia).

I didn't care about offices, they were nice in the other place that I worked years later. It's the lack of software engineering culture.

They followed the "flag oriented programming" paradigm. The company tanked a few months after I left anyway, so no bad feelings. Edit: I meant the other hardware company. The we-dont-honor-contracts one I guess it's still there making the world a nicer place.
