      hierarchical big company, full of VP's who build empires, potential for huge success

      Senior staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      cash rich. hiring. if you keep your head down and make your manager look good, you can keep your job forever. some excellent technologists who manage to get stuff done in spite of many management levels. Huge potential for advantage in very hot market (SSD).

      Cons

      a huge, empire building, hierarchical bloated bureaucracy, with senior management who behaves as though they can treat employees however they like. May fail to capitalize on huge advantages because the empires can't work together. Hugely difficult to advance from within; management controls by refusing promotion without outside job offers.

      Great company for Great people

      Engineering director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation. Work very independently. Nobody will tell you how to do your work.

      Cons

      No training. Archaic work methods. Constant reorgs and reshuffling. Extremely political. Almost any activity is spread across 3 continents. No long-term vision. This is a typical semiconductor company:sell more silicon that costs less money. The products themselves are considered fancy and unreasonably expensive packaging. It is all about moving NAND Exabytes.

      Executive level management needs serious improvement

      Marketing specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oddly, lack of headcount required/offered the chance to learn more skills across more functions Most of the people working there for more than the past 3 years are smart, helpful, dedicated Great product ideas always in process Good benefits package, flexible work schedule, casual environment Generous IT support and equipment Generous educational benefit - up to $6K/year Good location for commute - near restaurants and stores

      Cons

      Constantly changing direction and priorities costing millions of dollars Frequent, unannounced, illogical reorganizations Their way of dealing with sagging profits seems to be reorgs and layoffs rather than rethinking product release, marketing, sales strategies Silo issues among departments and functions Ageism - they're quietly but surely getting rid of anyone over 50 Very odd relationship with former M Systems acquisition - as a result, almost all director and above positions have been replaced with Israelis Has tendency to not pay vendors on time often leading to project interruptions or penalties
