Pros

nice campus, free food. Don't need to be productive and work long hours, but need to look like working. Can learn pretty technical stuff as it is a semiconductor company. Good pay.

Cons

Management does not communicate; this is a policy of the company. I.e., there is no org chart, no list of projects within a given BU, and no discussion about what is the focus of the BUs. I do not know what most of my coworkers are working on. All hands meeting are a joke. This lack of communication is due to both obvious reasons: management is scared of information leakage, management has no idea what to do. There is no way to be creative in this company. Nobody cares, i.e. may be 75% of the project go nowhere and are just discarded...

Pros

- Great work culture, helpful colleagues, managers with real leadership qualities. - Quality over quantity is expected and appreciated. - Periodic recalibration of assignments and deadlines of individual engineers to keep the workloads realistic. - No risk averting behaviors which gives freehand for all engineers to explore new ideas to improve the design performance. - Management seems to fish out and raise engineers from all levels who move the needles. - Have enough infrastructure and resources to develop advanced products without pressuring the engineers. - Adopting AI is every aspect of work. So, engineers can adapt to future needs of the industry.

Cons

- Salary can be a bit higher.
