Business Outlook

Pros

* Good bonus if you are newly hired or an Executive/Manager! * The ASIC Engineering group(s) here is/are very strong technically * This group has taped out several successful first-pass silicon ASICs - this is truly great! * Flexible work hours, remote access * Decent minor perks like - game room, fitness center (in some sites) * Gives you opportunity to innovate!

Cons

* Very uneven pay across same grade engineers (some are highly overpaid and some are highly under paid) although all of them are expected to do similar work! * Room for vertical growth in ASIC Engineering is very slim/nil! * No specific programs are in place for Career/Professional growth * Specifically in this group(s), the first line and second line managers seem to have least interest in encouraging/helping the engineers achieve professional goals * No direct reward/recognition given for doing an excellent/outstanding job. most of the times, it is peanuts.
