It used to be a great company to work for
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
February 17, 2025
Pros: Well-positioned in the semiconductor industry.
Cons: 15 years ago, about 10% of the key leadership roles in the company hailed from Indian backgrounds, and everyone got the same opportunity on merit.
Come 2025, literally more than half the VPs, GMs, and key roles across the company are now Indian. It seems Indian executives have worked hard, focusing on hiring Indians at every opportunity over the last few years. Many deserving people have been overlooked in favor of an Indian when a promotion or key position opens, especially when the hiring manager is typically an Indian.
