Pros

In the center of Israel, near the train, good salary.

Cons

Most of the jobs are reused. In the beginning, they were very interesting, but then it became more of the same.

Management doesn't care about the employees. They present themselves as a family company but are far from it.

They present themselves as a big company but act like a small startup.

Before tapeout, the management expects you to work 24/7, which is common in the industry. However, you spend many hours waiting for licenses.

They gave an order to close a group. The next day, they fired the people with one month's notice in the middle of August, knowing there's no way to find a job until November (summer vacation and holidays).

One week before the decision, this group started working on the most important project for Samsung Semiconductor. One month before that, they finished working 24/7 on another critical project.

The site manager didn't even fly to Korea to try to change the decision.

One week later, they announced a company happening for employees and their families during the notice period and didn't invite the people who were laid off.

The meaning of closing this group (backend) is that it's the smallest project for the site.

The compensation isn't transparent. At the end of the year, the human resource manager decides how much to give you without any criteria.

I recommend no one to go there since, with this management, I see no future for the site.

Advice to Management

Put the keys and go home.
