Great potential as a company, but terrible executive management, HR, benefits and work life balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great potential as a technology powerhouse. Chance to work on the best semiconductor technologies. Great diversity. Good bonus plan (if paid). If you are hired as an executive, good place to work.

Cons

A foundry company with no one in the top management has any foundry business experience. Only executives (director and above) get pre IPO stock options or equity grant. Bonus and merit increase seldom get paid. 24hour work culture, totally a slave drive. Totally disorganized. IT and HR is one of the worst in the industry probably. Top management is all from Freescale and former Philips with no vision and clear direction. Compensation and other benefits are not competitive at least in the Silicon Valley. Lot of politics and favoritism. Terrible work culture, run like 3 different companies across Singapore, Dresden and USA.
