- 3.0Good pay, but work-life balance is sacrificed.Design Verification Engineer • Current EmployeeBayan Lepas, Penang, MalaysiaJuly 27, 2025Pros: • Great monetary offer if you aced the interview • Great employee benefits (free coffee, console games, dental, medical) • Vast variety of knowledge, tons of learning opportunitiesCons: • Super fast-paced; you have to juggle multiple tasks in parallel. • Tasks on hand are micromanaged, expecting significant progress every week. • Geopolitics: If your team is not local, expect peers who are not willing to share information, and you will be knocking into walls trying to complete a simple task. • Poor documentation: To understand certain things, you have to delve into the code level to understand how interconnections are made. • Poor distribution of IP feature ownership: Some features are only taken care of by one person. If that person is reluctant to share information or is on leave, you have no way to consult that person regarding the feature. • Output-oriented instead of learning-oriented: You will not be given time to learn the big picture of things, but only focus on completing your assigned deliverables. • Unrealistic datelines: Expects new hires to complete four tasks that involve major code development just two months into the job.
