'yes boss' culture. managers on retirement with salary

R&d engineer ic design

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

nice salary. RSU grants are very attractive

Cons

managers are already on retirement, but with salary. ie they are not interested in working at all, at least in WCC vlsi. senior folks do not behave professionally, but with full of favouritism and ego. promotions/benefits are given to only 'yes boss' people. due to all these reasons, the working class completely lack motivation to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Above market salary - that's the only thing good about this company

Cons

Pretty much everything is bad here. The HR and management policies are really bad. It feels like they are stalking you all the time. No innovation going on here. It's a factory setting.
