Salaries are high, promotions are at a reasonable pace, and the work environment is collaborative. The products are good, and we used to have talented design engineers.
Shrinking, poor top management decisions. Missed the handheld and ultra-mobile markets. Some decisions are made by slow, wide consensus rather than by a few competent people. Too much emphasis on cost reduction at the expense of quality. Too many VPs: 3x more than Intel but 1/8 of Intel's size.
Revert to expanding R&D, especially in the handheld and ultra-mobile market.
Stop outsourcing design and product development.
Put more emphasis on customer service and satisfaction.
The interview process was easy to schedule and go through. Two interviews back to back. A rude interviewer who did not allow me to answer questions that he asked. Mostly a resume screening, although he did not want to hear about my experience.
One initial recruiter call followed by an interview loop. The loop consisted of two 1-hour interviews, which included technical and coding questions. I was unable to answer some questions and was subsequently rejected.
The process felt disjointed with unusual follow-up times. However, all recruiters and interviewers were very friendly. It seems the teams, rather than HR, control the timelines. Interviewers were very knowledgeable.
