Pros

This company is very organized in project planning, team coordination to support the various objectives, and allocating technical resources to each team. The different RF IC functional blocks, such as RX, TX, synth, and reliability, are dynamically assigned reasonable resources and time to complete.

Team leads are competent technically and lead well.

Cons

The position that coordinates test instruction between Product Design and Production Test overlaps shift changes and often requires long hours to cover mornings, evenings, and weekends. It is not technically challenging, so it is difficult to develop new skills. The company needs to value you as a keeper.

Advice to Management

Change the company policy to allow managers to keep temp employees indefinitely, and make a path to a permanent position.
