Pros

Good place if you're looking to work 40hours a week or less. It's a 9-5 job and you don't have to take your work home with you.

Cons

You don't get any recognition for the hard work that you put in. Some managers like to yell to try to intimidate their employees. No one likes a micro-manager.

Pros

The pay and benefits are OK, and when business is good the bonuses can be nice. The company is astutely managed from a financial engineering point of view, since it has handled its long term corporate debt while at the same time acquired smaller competitors with time. The manufacturing side of the company is generally pretty efficient, and so the company will likely continue its strategy of debt reduction, and external acquisitions, in order to keep its manufacturing lines busy, which after a decade of independence from Motorola, is what management has proven it knows well.

Cons

The variability of the consumer/commodity cyclical semiconductor market makes for difficult long-term planning. The company is a conglomeration of other companies purchased over the years, which makes internal communication harder due to a lack of standardization of software, systems, or business processes, so it can sometimes feel like a collection of independent silos. The global nature of the company is challenging, which sometimes makes for odd hours and communications issues due to distance and cultural differences. The size of the long-term corporate debt, can prompt the company to made sudden changes, with little warning to employees affected.

ON Semiconductor - ex-employee - not by choice

Pros

Well-run. Company was in dire straights and deeply leveraged following Y2000 spin-off from Motorola Semiconductor. After CEO change, addition of new CFO, the company has not only become profitable, but well-positioned to grow. Senior management has leveraged core competencies in high volume commodities manufacturing into a money-making machine. They are not looking back.

Cons

ON frequently acquires complementary companies. Because of redundancies from the acquisitions, there was a lot of concern about maintaining employment. Terminations are usually very unexpected and swift. There seems to be a lot of survivor syndrome. I'm not sure any of that is different from any other companies, these days, though. Stock prices seemed to fluctuate more than the general market.
