A learning experience, but a dinosaur in the way it operates

Component product engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Many opportunities to learn - Very high profile in the industry - recognized as a technology leader in many areas - Unique work experience - Surrounded by very experienced and knowledgeable people

Cons

- Learning opportunities are very niche - Old school corporate mentality born (complacency born from past success) - Lack of ability to move up can be frustrating - Employees who have been here a while have somewhat given up and just accept status quo - Corporate is perfectly satisfied with mediocrity. They are thrilled to point out everything we get (benefits, salaries, etc) are just barely par with "industry average." Perfect example is the target satisfaction in the annual employee survey is 65%... - Several cuts have been made in the last year, possibly the most annoying being the significant reduction of the education plan that used to be touted as the finest in the industry (which it WAS....past tense).

Pros

As an intern I had fun and learned a lot. I was treated with respect and not as someone less educated. friendly enviroment and salary for interns were great.

Cons

At times it can be slow paced which made me fall asleep at the desktop. The food is okay, nothing special.
