Pros

Zero work pressure

Good culture if you want to be in a state of revelry

Average salary (explains the above two reasons)

Finance team is the one which works perfect! (As salary gets credited on 25th)

Try to write a paper or work on demo You get a chance to visit boston

9 to 5 job .. If you want 4 is also fine..

Government job in a semiconductor company.. Overall a cool place for retirement..

Cons

You will deliberately stop thinking if you work for even a single year

Zero clarity on projects/roadmap You ask Manager -> director ->Gm ->vp.. You won't get to know..

By the time they get back either they move on or re organised or get fired

Annual increments is a pure gamble. It's a unique formula that's not explained/understood by your Manager or HR. Pure luck..

No accountability/aggressiveness

Complete mess..

ADI is a great company but great work doesn't happen in all the groups. People policy, work environment, benefits are all really good.. But if work clarity, quality really matters, strongly suggest to avoid.. why should I do this? How important is it? Who's the customer ? What is my role and day to day activities - please ask and join.. Otherwise you will end up writing paper, rigging a demo, proof of concept ..

HR is more of Admin role and not towards personnel ( training, retention, development, performance management etc)

Advice to Management

Existing management model is leaving too much human capability untapped.

Please don't curb the youthful exuberance in the work culture with old people..

High time the management prudentially selects the projects for execution. Also HR has to be on the employees side and not do what management instructs.. And similarly management has to look at growing the organisation productively, bringing more core work, independent execution etc and not do maintenance
