Process

Had a one-on-one on campus interview first for 30min. Asked technical questions about various topics in EE.

After, was invited on site for an interview. Was a whole day event. Started at 9am until about 4:30pm. Half an hour tour of the facilities when I first arrived on site, then after was a one on one interview with different employees every hour. Each employee focused on a different topic in EE

Good job with uncertain future.

Applications Engineer • Current Employee

North Reading, Massachusetts

Pros: Great people and great challenges to solve. Get to work on a variety of topics in an ever-changing industry. The engineers (of all types) are fantastic to work with, and everyone at this level feels real commitment and pride in what they make.

Cons: Too much office politics with upper management, which feeds down negatively to the actual work being done. This level is too focused on personal positioning instead of focusing on acknowledging reality and developing great products in less-than-ideal times. Currently the focus appears to be overly on the stock price with little care about the future of its employees.

Pros: Cannot think of any, other than tuition reimbursement, but every tech job at a mid to large size company does

Cons: Extremely poor management. No opportunities for advancement. Their approach to research and development of new products is always behind the technology curve. The accountability of issues and problems always falls upon the lowly engineers, managers don't report bad news up, because that is not what the middle/upper managers want to hear.
