Pros

The work is varied in the engineering department, working on Interesting technologies. Semtech is a mid sized company allowing the management team to take a long term strategic view without forcing unrealistic timescales on the development process in a desperate dash to revenue. There is ample opportunity for the engineering teams to engage with the end customer & not end up being small cogs in a big machine.

Cons

Downside is that the company is heavily focused on the US. Employees working in satellite offices outside of the main HQ tend to be overlooked for promotion.

Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
