Process
Interviewed over the phone after a recruiter called to set up the interview. Gave a technical presentation over the phone while sharing my computer screen for the PowerPoint.
Questions
They asked a few questions about my method of debugging and testing, as well as basic semiconductor questions (i.e., what is a controllable variable other than voltage in semiconductor optimization? Answer: frequency).

Great Company to work
Product Engineer • Current Employee
February 11, 2023
Pros: Work-life balance is good. People are helpful and good. Management is great.
Cons: Compensation needs to be corrected compared to market standards.
3.0
Good or Bad Depends on the Business Group
Product Engineer • Former Employee
South San Francisco, California, United States
January 10, 2016
Pros: Big reputable company. Nice to have on a resume.
Cons: The company is steering away from digital products. As a result, there are rounds and rounds of layoffs happening in the digital groups. There is no job security.
As people are being let go, the remaining employees are juggling more work left by employees who are leaving. The work load is huge. When you are burned out, they will just put you in the next round of layoff.
To be fair, people in the analog groups are doing okay.

Solid through the Corona pandemic
Product Engineer • Former Employee
June 22, 2021
Pros: The company will remain relevant and performing through events like the pandemic. Bonuses and profit sharing were not cut. The culture of knowledge sharing is very helpful.
Cons: Bonuses and profit sharing are fixed for the Malaysian HR compensation model. They do not vary from person to person. I'm not sure about the other offices.
In TI Malaysia, you don't get a variable bonus based on how well you perform. You may get an end-of-year raise, but even that has some kind of semiconductor industry-based (in Malaysia) hard limitation.
The con of a fixed bonus is subjective to the individual, I suppose, if you know what I mean.
