Pros

Good Compensation and Benefits. Cutting edge flash memory technology to learn.

Cons

Everything else. Sr. Managers and Directors are highly political and unethical in their conduct. Extremely selfish and don't care about employees' professional growth. You are just numbers for them. Not trustworthy at all. You may be hired for say "Analog Team", but they would force you to join characterization team. This example is just tip of the iceberg. Promotion and growth depend on "mood" of certain directors rather your actual performance. Appraisal process has no transparency. Visibly incompetent people are getting promoted to high designation of "technologist" More than 50% employees in the analog team have already left in last 6 months. Senior managers from other teams have left too. Memory group is in mess.

Pros

Good compensation. Nothing else.

Cons

Lots of idiots at top. Excels and colorful ppts is all you need to survive here. Everybody works for survival here, technology is only talked about, but everybody's real job is politics of survival. They have all the bad people from few good old companies. (LSI, NetApp) Recent round of firing(5% across board) . Best part is nobody got fired from top. All engineering folks got fired.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback! Unfortunately, our inability to meet our expectations in Q1 this past year led us to making a 5% head count reduction across the company, not just engineering. While this was a very difficult time for us a company, we are confident in our ability to recuperate from this stint and return to performing successfully.
