Potential is there but could do much better

Pros

Chance to work on bleeding-edge technology. Friendly international atmosphere. Market leader in the chosen market segments.

Cons

HR policy means almost every engineer receives the same salary. No chances to earn more through extra effort, etc. Staff turnover extremely low (not only leaving the company but also no internal movements). Promotion prospects non-existent. If you are happy with a 9-5 job and are not ambitious then this is probably the company for you. You could say that NXP is a fur-lined rut - comfortable, one-track, difficult to get yourself out of. Only the CEO and the Business Unit managers are worth a damn: the rest of upper-management are on an ego-trip and quite useless. Mid-level management came up decades ago as expert engineers and lack man-management skills.

Pros

Engineers here are typically older which has it's disadvantages for a younger person, but also means that they all have wealth of knowledge to give out. Work environment is very collaborative and flexible. Salary for a person fresh out of college was better than expected.

Cons

Benefits seem to be more expensive than other places, no stock options in the job offer, different business lines are segmented off so you will work in the same building as people everyday but never meet them (though this is probably true for any bigger company).

Pros

NXP has good products; they need to broaden some of the product lines. Most of the people are good, stand-up folks and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

During my tenure, the communication flow was bottoms up instead of top down as I thought it should be; very frustrating- too much time spent writing reports for upward communication.
