Pros

The technology is genuinely interesting and you learn a lot. Semiconductor industry, so the work is cutting edge. There are also opportunities to travel which is a nice plus.

Cons

Immediate management is a mess. Deadlines get set that are already unrealistic from day one. When things go wrong, managers just blame other teams and engineers instead of actually focusing on the issue. A lot of energy goes into office politics, draining the work output. The pressure is constant and people are burning out — some are already on leave, others are clearly on the way there. Based on feedback from the management, it seems to be that way by design.

High-Tech toxic pool

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

* Competitive Salary * Opportunity to work on cutting-edge innovation * Challenging engineering problems

Cons

* Toxic work environment - a climate of distrust has caused the employees feel the need to keep a paper trail or to have meetings recorded to protect them from unfair retaliation. Engineering meetings turn into personal confrontations rather than tackling the actual problem together. * Tenure is valued over integrity - the company is often too afraid to lose know-how even when it hurts morale. For example there is well known gender discrimination from product support management and the company would rather avoid the discussion than fire someone with a long tenure. * Burnout culture - Intense work pace even compared to other similar semiconductor companies. Everything is under constant taskforce status even if it is often artificial urgency.
