      Great people, great learning experience, but the work/life balance and poor upper management will make you think twice.

      Pros

      You'd want to work here if you come straight out of college. You learn a great deal and end up meeting great friends. Coming out of NEC, you will be ready to take on multiple challenges at any company. This includes dealing with different people, self management of tasks, as well as technical aspects of the semicondcutor industry.

      Cons

      The work - life balance is extremely off. You'll find yourself working 9-10 hours a day, answering calls at night, and sometimes on the weekends. Working hard is also not rewarding in terms of money. Yes, managers and co-workers will recognize you work, but not much more than that. Also, the semiconductor industry does not seem to be looking hot, especially in California. Getting a job here, if you stay a long time, you'll find it'll be more difficult to find another job in Ca.

      Do not work here unless you can handle the culture.

      Pros

      The company offers good benefits (compared to other large companies in the valley). My manager is flexible with employees' request for time off for personal and family needs. My department has reasonable expectation on the employees' performance (i.e. They do not ask you to do the impossible). They can be patient with achieving results when taking a product to market.

      Cons

      Most senior managers are from NEC Corporate and has poor English skills (but one must consider the fact that most American has no Japanese language skills). But this does means one must work much harder to get a message across to management. Overall, the management and leadership skills are lacking. They have a lack of understanding of customers' & market requirements. The company has a culture of distrust and secrecy.
