Pros
Employment Very Stable for a Semiconductor Company Low comparative cost of health insurance premium Company is growing via acquisitions. This is a plus since it opens up more opportunities but a negative because current employees not utilized to develop new products/markets
Cons
Culture is to hire less experience employees and give narrow responsibility -- leads to issues in development Low costs of health insurance offset by high deductible on medicine and other procedures compared to what I have seen at other large companies CEO pressures employees to "volunteer" to take 5% pay cut. This is done in letters after announcing the favorable returns the shareholders are receiving Company is not looking for best in class employees but lowest pay for position. Has led to culture where only upper management is making decisions.
