Process
A series of online video interviews with various members. Typical interview questions, except for one person who asked me about how I looked (which was very unprofessional in my opinion) and seemed more interested in being condescending than in interviewing.

Good Company
Product Engineer • Former Employee
Milpitas, California
February 24, 2015
Pros: A lot of good likeable people, nice pace to work. People who join company tend to stay for a long time. I worked there for 32 years though not consecutively. It was the best place I worked at and I was glad I returned to it when I was hired back.
Cons: Not many, but I would say it has a corporate mentality.
A lot of information doesn't get disseminated down from upper management. When the company was smaller news spread quickly and management was more approachable.
Most people there I had no idea what their names were by the time I left.
I was laid off unceremoniously >> there is the door you go through it to leave the property. When people retire they celebrate them leaving. When they are laid off you don't even get a thank you card.
