Pros
Fantastic headquarter upper management, blows Atmel upper management out of the water. Management at Co Springs factory is old Atmel management and doesn't quite compare to the quality of Microchip management but this continues to improve. 401k, 401k match, stock bonus, quarterly bonus, stock purchase plan, educational benefits, employee funded insurance benefits
Kontras
often feel pigionholed to 1-5 pieces of equipement. cutthroat compettionion still exisits. you can be shown 100 times how to do something but will never be handed the reins to take the task on yourself. breaking out of department and growing career is difficult but possible. there are "cliques" that hold people in positions while advancing others.
