Analog Devices

The company as such is very good because of some of its product lines.

1. If you are joining from any service based company, this is a good place in terms of salary, perks etc. If you are joining from a semiconductor peer (like TI, Intel, Broadcom, of the likes - or even few billion $ semicon companies), it's a strong avoid.

2. The India management is a bunch of jokers with no vision, and empty vessels. All directors are enjoying their pre-retirement days without much aggressiveness or scope for improvement.

3. Most of the projects get canned for invalid reasons.

4. India center is more of digital focus, and you will get redeployed quite frequently.

5. Especially, there are some blood-sucking blockheaded people in certain groups like Hardware APPS, who on earth think as if they bring out the best of ADI. but that is not the truth. Please avoid joining such groups. You will slog and get stressed without a purpose.

6. If you are looking for a serious career in software, please avoid. The biggest problem is clarity in what they do and because of which you end up in a mess.
