Bristol, England

Current Employee – been working at STMicroelectronics

ProsIt is a good family-friendly place to work. The people are great and you get opportunity to work new and cutting-edge hardware.
This is a large company with many sites throughout the world and plenty of opportunity work with and travel to colleagues abroad.

ConsSoftware engineering follows an outdated "waterfall" methodology, which is better suited to hardware development.
The large organisation can lead to frustrating bureaucracy and poor communication

Edinburgh, Scotland

Former Employee – worked at STMicroelectronics

ProsVery friendly, supporting colleagues
Allowed to explore things (and sometimes to try them live as well)
You will not be sacked very easily
If you want peace of mind without doing anything, it is the right place

ConsNo recognition of whatever you do
Very poor pay scale. It is easy to get into the company with inflated pay scale. But once in, salary increment is just a peanut.
Promotion? Don't ever think about it.
Unless you are an annoyer you get nothing in return.
