Pros

nice people to work with very good work-life balance possible open communication (at least on lower levels like engineers, project leaders)

Cons

hardly any carreer advancement for engineers too bureaucratic sticking too often to saturated markets instead of driving innovation an opening new markets no-one-is-responsible mentality of management. Management often treats the employees like small children who can not be told the - often ugly- truth.

Pros

Very challenging work. State of the art systems. Professional colleagues.

Cons

Unclear overall strategic direction. anxiety as market gets worse which is not answered sufficiently by management. Not enough growth opportunities. Overall strange atmosphere because of uncertainties of what the future holds. It is also not NXP's fault that they have such a large debt but KKR's they bought NXP for way too much and saddled NXP with the debt. Unclear how we will be able to start deleveraging...

Pros

Hi tech enviriorment , dynamic market on the edge of innovationin at least in the past . Global company , oustanding middle management that is keeping the company still running and keep the workforce where they can still motivate . The compensation & package still there from the old Philips period are fare . Communication are manage from the top management in a quite approriate way . The balance between work and personal life is fare but in some areas getting worst , too many changes in parallel . A hope cannot get worst than last 2 years , so willing to stay to get the business back in shape

Cons

Very politic and lobby approach , the new sponsor are too short term view and the exercize is cost cutting ( that in some way is corect ) but focus also on top line , it is 3 years I do not remember a big win in the market. The management is focused for only tomorrow with very weak programs. The execution of those program are deployed by the second line of management that has a limited experience , a lot of arrogance , and not capabile to understand the big picture . The biggest issue we have is a disconection between the strategy and the implementation . Overall in this moment lack of values
