Pros

Senior engineers who are completely ignorant about management are promoted to become managers. That leaves a lot of room for employees to improvise.

Cons

Anti-social behavior is strongly encouraged so that employees can focus on work instead of any other aspect of human life. Managers expect employees to work long late hours because "they don't have family/girlfriends waiting at home."

Pros

Benefits were good, free medical, dental and vision benefits. Also, time-off and sick-leave were generous and free food are great. Good place to work.

Cons

Bad mangement! no communcation within team members. finger pointing and back stabbing causing many Engineers to leave the company. Avoid the company.

Pros

- A very good company if someone wants to learn different skills in his area of work. - A lot of products under its portfolio. It's a good thing to have diversification in products, because if one product line doesn't make profits, there are others that can. - Great technology and competent engineers. - Good benefits package. - The company isn't too large and hence isn't run in a bereaucratic way. This is good as it helps in projects getting approved fast and deadlines being met.

Cons

- Management could be much better. The company is run like a start up. - There is practically no R&D activity for future innovations. Work is entirely focused on meeting deadline for the next product. - Engineering processes and resources could be better and more organized. For example, disk space and computing power are awfully lacking for engineers to focus on their jobs. - Lacks an overall long-term direction. Most everything seems to be happening on a quarter-by-quarter basis. - It is run like a family business even though it's a public company. Everything is controlled too much by the CEO -- be it hiring a new engineer (in order to qualify he has to be from an approved list of schools) or deciding on the architecture of a new chip. - Few fun events and activities organized. Everybody is always busy with work to meet deadlines.
