Pros

The design work in the Custom and Foundry Products (former AMIS) is interesting and rewarding. There are always new projects coming down the pipe, so designers get to shift gears regularly and develop circuits for different applications. Project leads and immediate supervisors are very understanding about spending time with family, etc. (i.e. having a life outside of work!)

Cons

After the AMIS aquisition, it really seems that upper management does not care much at all about the employees. Things are done "for the good of the company," which I suppose ultimately means good for the employee (insofar as it creates job stability), but it's hard to be excited working for a company that pinches pennies so tightly. The ON "entity" doesn't seem to care about the employees.

Pros

Decent pay. Stock options. Good co-workers. Diverse workforce.

Cons

Constant layoffs. They will lay off thousands of employees then make huge billion dollar+ accusations. IT department is a toxic cesspool. CIO manages based on "Vibes" perception, and impressions. He does not provide clear direction but then gets upset if you do not read his mind. A total rule by fear environment. They constantly are threatening to let you go if you don't fall in line. They fire anyone who disagrees with them or shows any backbone or stands up for themselves. So Senior IT management is full of "Yes men" afraid to stick their necks out. Most regular employees just keep their heads down. AVOID THE IT DEPARTMENT AT ALL COSTS.
