22 year old working in firmware department of major silicon IP company here (you can probably guess who - obviously standard disclaimer about I don't represent them). My company selling IP rather than hardware makes it a bit easier, but: management is realistic and reasonably versatile. Attitude to proper technologies (e.g. using Github instead of releasing tar bombs over FTP) is good. Documentation is good, bar "don't document that or we will be sued" situations, which are too common. Testing sucks in certain areas but is good in most. Obviously at my age I don't have much experience, but I thought the alternative view might be nice.
