Pros

Great engineering company. You can work with lots of technologies, products and markets. You get to work with people from all over the world and all over the industry - from phones to jet engines. You can get into the nitty-gritty of projects and problems pretty quickly because many people have generally been there a long time and consequently know what to do in many types of situations. Lots of mentors around.

Cons

You somehow always feel like you are under-compensated, whether it is true or not. If you are not in MA you may end up reporting into there to someone who just happens to be located in the right place. Pretty much everything has been off-shored to Asia (including many customers' operations) so if there are any manufacturing or development or customer issues to be resolved (as there always are in every company) you can find yourself working over the phone late into the evening trying to get things done or find things out. In a different type of industry this is time that you could be spending with your family. I guess that is just the way things are now in every manufacturing industry, not just at Analog Devices.

Pros

There are still a lot of brilliant engineers at Analog. They are very good at minimizing layoffs and cut backs. Very good 401(k)

Cons

Twenty years ago, Analog was the leader and other semis looked to what we were doing and imitated us. Now we are to scared to take calculated risks and be the leaders of the industry. We wait to see what everybody else is doing and get in line with them. (especially in regards to compensation) Not a lot of excitement. The type of personality that thrives at Analog is one that doesn't like change and just cares about getting a steady paycheck. They're willing to let their career be stagnant in exchange for that job security and steady paycheck.

Pros

There are many experts in each expertise area. If you are highly motivated, it is the best place to learn something interesting and new mainly by yourself. Atmosphere is like a laboratory in university. Work and evaluation environment is not bad. Project speed is not so fast and you can work with comparatively calm atmosphere. If you want to be a pure engineer, it would be one of the best places.

Cons

Management and sales are poor, which is kind of disorder status. Company is just going thanks to the technology advance. There is no proper evaluation system and no clear strategies.
