Analog Devices reviews

-Running production too fast for fab size (small) -Problems and bottlenecks get blamed on operators instead of the process -Management doesn't listen to operators when making process changes -Very stingy cost cutting -Low pay while the company and CEO make record profits -Linear Technology was a better company before being bought out by Analog -Market cycles in the chip industry produce layoffs

Pay is not competitive. ESPP is very limited. Very limited stock options too. I became ADI employee through acquisition. Before acquisition, we had good ESPP purchase amounts at very good discount. They have sliced to less than half. So less scope for growth outside the base salary and bonus.
