      Above Average Employer operating in an unstable industry

      Associate engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Good compensation 2. Historically amazing career growth (not sure if true currently) 3. Decent non-cash benefits 4. Overall great people 5. Good reputation, adds to personal credibility

      Cons

      1. In the chips (VLSI) division, there's too much drudgery and not enough challenges. Too high an emphasis on timelines and deliverables, creating work pressure without the benefit of the job satisfaction counter-balance 2. Company and overall industry not doing well 3. Too heavily reliant on a few major players, career at risk 4. Several management issues, at least in Bangalore (India), too many failed restructuring attempts, I've also heard multiple persistent grumbles about strong politics-driven culture for advancements in higher strata (not verified by me, but likely true) 5. Poor work-life balance

      Pros

      It's a good workplace from technical pov. You get to work on the cutting edge before the competitors. You have access to all tools. In my division the flow (setup) was very pervasive. Your colleagues are also very sound technically and helpful too.

      Cons

      Very bad work-life balance. Because of the flow (setup) you had very little wiggle room to learn about the underlying processes and tinker with them
