Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEOI have been working at Synaptics full-time
Pros
pay is good or can be said that is little above market. Benefits are also good you get free food and cab facility. You can expect nice occasional goodies. Now lets talk about work. Synaptics has various divisions and I can speak for only multimedia division bangalore. if you don't have any self-respect and you are a malyali also then there are chances that you can get some good work.
Cons
Management is very bad in bangalore. There is a very negative vibe in office because of the regional politics here. Work life balance is very bad, average no. of work hours here is 12hrs. They have a decent product but if you a non-malyali chances are high that you will get any good work. People speak in regional language here. No innovation happens in this office. No one even talks about new... ideas/innovation.

Pros
Benefits. Work life balance. Friendly environment.
Cons
Quite a bit of work at times but isn't that normal?
Advice to Management
Share more with employees as what you get at the top. Difference between top execs and average engineer compensation should not be that much.

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Synaptics full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good work life balance, they promote and advance women and minorities, the managers do not micromanage, the office is nice with a good cafeteria and gym, and they are serious about making a difference in their community. The combination of all these things are impressive.
Cons
They keep overpromising and under delivering, while our competitors delivered. They just did not seem to grasp the complexity of some projects and underestimated how long it would take to make it work. This caused our customers to not trust our schedules and turn to competitors whose schedules they could trust.
Advice to Management
Keep all the pros I listed, and start taking making accurate schedules more seriously.

Pros
Interesting technologies, and some good engineers. Good work-life balance. Still a leader in human computer interface but not for long...
Cons
Leadership is just not good and has decided to follow the market instead of driving it. There is no plan, no vision, and no trust to the company's engineers. That makes projects predictable and boring. No growth unless you are in a few select groups.
Advice to Management
Wake up !
