      Pros

      The types of work is definitely not boring. You get quite a bit of mixed of SW and HW type of customer and internal product dev support work. So, if you are an ambitious engineer wishing to learn complete product cycles, then this the company for you.

      Cons

      The company for some reason gets political. Sometimes you get a feeling that people don't trust one another. I think it's the cultural thing coming from the top. But as long as you stick to your work, which you should have plenty, you are OK.

      Incompetent top management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very interesting technical projects, with many highly skilled engineers

      Cons

      Top management is highly incompetent - as you can see from the stock prices. They do not know how to delegate, how to trust and appreciate the many experts they have in their teams. They have grown up from startup and still pride themselves to be the best engineers and slow down all the projects. They are not able to isolate the big picture to make fast decision on projects. The organisational structure is a total mess. Only one guys decides , the ceo who obviously has an inflated ego and know-it-all, but contradicts himself from review to review, just thinking that shouting at people and calling them stupid will help . No maturity to run a bigger corporation. should have stayed in their garage to design their PLLs.

      Bigger company with small mindset

      Asic design engineer

      Pros

      Financial stability. Could be a good learning place for younger engineers, if mentored.

      Cons

      No obvious career or monetary upside. Company was never known for its generosity towards chip designers. No obvious market focus. It seems leadership avoids market segments that are very competitive.
