Beware before you start at PMIC VI
PMIC VI Staff Engineer • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
July 26, 2017
Pros: You get to live in San Diego.
Cons: Most of what they tell you at the job interview is incorrect. It's a very political and clannish culture. You have to be from the same ethnic background of the director to advance in this department. People sabotage each other, and managers encourage the unethical behavior. The reasoning is to promote competition, which is total BS. There are a lot of incompetent, insulting, and rude managers. The work-life balance is terrible. Compensation is not good relative to industry standards. It's a very depressing atmosphere; avoid PMIC VI at all costs.
