Pros

Great manager; good benefits and perks; drawings for game and concert tickets; company events; end of year gifts. The company really tries to make employees feel appreciated. Nice office.

Cons

There are always cons at any company you will work at. You have to weigh the good with the bad. It was a purposeful downward career move when I took this position, and an upward career move when I departed. Everything aligned the way it should have for my career.

Pros

Location in the heart of San Jose. Decent starting point for new grads.

Cons

If you are looking for a high commission sales job, this is not for you. You can only make real money when the cyclical market is in an upswing (market shortages). Also keep in mind during Covid there was the biggest market shortage in history, which we are likely to never see again for a LONG time. All of the good accounts in Silicon Valley are taken and you will have no real chance to even talk with them.

Thank you for your feedback. Smith offers uncapped commission for our sales professionals and provides the tools and resources needed to support the success of all team members. The semiconductor industry moves in cycles, and we’ve experienced many ups and downs throughout our 40 years in business. We recognize the need for innovation and initiative to continue to grow and thrive during any market condition. Smith has an open-door policy to foster transparency and collaboration, and we encourage you to speak with your manager about any issues or challenges you may be facing.
