Pros: There are really smart people within the MEMS group.

Cons: HR was short-staffed and IT was lacking behind.

Pros: Cafeteria, good parking lot, nice campus, some decent people

Cons: Lots of cancelled projects and layoffs, they don't give raises consistently. Very low to none for RSUs below E-13. Very poor place to develop cutting edge skills. Very poor and mediocre experience. If you are a family person makes it impossible to live in a good school district and afford a family. Odds of lay offs are higher than the odds of promotion for senior people. The company won't pay to hire top talent. They hire the person who will accept the least pay and expect that person to perform on the 95th percentile. It never works out with these hires projects get delayed and cancelled with reorgs and layoffs and middle management gets re-assigned to another product line and the same situation repeats. Very political place. There is a silly shrine for Ray Stata in one building, to make up for cancelled projects and limited to no RSUs.

Pros: The company has good tech, a nice atmosphere to learn in, interesting projects, and a good work-life balance.

Cons: Compensation is 30% below industry average. The company refuses to recognize that compensation is an issue. You can't hide it anymore. This does not motivate engineers, nobody will take risks, nobody will go out of the way and no thinking out of the box is encouraged. Do you want people to do the bare minimum?
