Pros: Great history and great technology and great potential.
Teams are very talented engineering-wise, with a lot of smart, knowledgeable people.
Cons: - Growing middle management that does nothing except politicking around.
- Unable to execute in adjacent markets as well as core business (Modems, App processors).
- Outside HQ, company culture is missing and non-existent.

Company to work for
Hardware Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
August 3, 2016
Pros: Great tech company with lots to learn. Most industry tools are available for you to download and use.
Excellent benefits, especially ESPP, which they match up to 15% at a 15% discounted price. 401K matching is not compatible as they have a limit. The company pays for the medical premium. If you can't use your vacation days, you can get paid half by matching.
Cons: The medical benefit changed in 2016, and the deductible is high. Most employees are complaining.
These are really bad changes that they chose.
It's an offsetting of no premium, basically. Too many H1Bs.
