Pros

- Facilities are well maintained, and the environment is generally clean and organized. - A bonus structure exists for hourly and salaried staff. - Many managers and technical leads are approachable and willing to help. - Starting pay can be competitive depending on the role. - Plenty of employee parking. - Training programs are structured and help new hires ramp up efficiently.

Cons

- Compensation does not keep pace with cost of living, and raises feel reactive rather than intentional. - Bonus structures lack consistency. - The culture in some areas has shifted toward heavy oversight and micromanagement. What was once more results focused now feels compliance driven, with increasing restrictions that have hurt morale. - Benefits are expensive relative to coverage quality. Healthcare premiums significantly reduce take home pay - Conflict resolution often appears risk averse and liability focused rather than employee focused - The company doesn't seem to care about employee assets. - Internal priorities and project expectations are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and frustration. - The rollout of unlimited PTO has created more confusion than flexibility.

Pros

Company is well performing. Positive culture overall. Great benefits with premiums and 401k match.

Cons

A lot of recent volatility with leadership changes and new leaders trying to make their mark. Also new RTW mandate that keeps adding additional office days.

Pros

The leadership team genuinely cares about employee development and creates an environment where program managers can thrive. You're given real ownership over complex, high-impact projects that span multiple engineering teams and product lines. The level of trust and autonomy is what you'd hope for. The technical work is fascinating and highly efficient. Being involved in cutting-edge semiconductor and IoT solutions means you're constantly learning and working on products that matter in the real world. The cross-functional collaboration here is excellent—engineering teams, product management, marketing, and operations all work together smoothly, which makes driving programs forward much more efficient. Work-life balance is respected. Despite of demanding projects and deadlines, there's a strong culture of sustainable performance rather than burnout.

Cons
