      Great place to work

      Sr. software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The tech is at the forefront of semiconductor device manufacturing. Ability to learn more and get more skills in the field of semiconductor manufacturing. Nice, relaxed work environment. Good salary, a very pleasant campus.

      Cons

      Product's source code is messed up IMO - they chose a wrong language (Python) for the product that is supposed to have high performance. Now they are struggling with performance issues. Computer code is poorly organized, not modular, doesn't have high performance, at least in my project. It is quite difficult to work with. They don't care about coding culture. Attention is sharply focused on sales and revenues. If you are used to nicely organized projects (in terms of tech) - you will struggle.

      Horrible culture

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most people have graduate degrees (specially from Stanford). You can learn a lot as a junior developer.

      Cons

      Promotions are completely arbitrary. I recall one of my bosses quit after the position he was working hard to get went to a friend from college of the CEO who was clearly under qualified for the role. The company is very hierarchical and sometimes people from position of privilege would have prejudicial attitudes against lower rank employees, specifically minorities. I don't recall ever interacting with either a black or latino employee. Women are also heavily under represented and rarely get into leadership roles.

      Toxic culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay and declining benefits

      Cons

      Current leadership is toxic. They want no dissent, only strict adherence to the leadership’s lack of vision.
