performance review is a joke in some groups with certain managers

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

one person can do a lot of technical things. Salary is good. Stock reward was pretty good (but getting much less year by year). if you're in good team with good manager, a best place. If you're in a bad team or work for a dirt-hearted manager, change the job if possible.

Cons

performance review and promotion is so unfair, things are in black box, this is purely depending on the managers who are trustable or not. more and more politics are being added to slow down the growth.

A Great Company but stuck in a bad group

Principal ic design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Company with many good engineers (for now). Again, emphasizes "engineers" only.

Cons

Significant cut back compensation. No more vacation days. If you are good friends with your boss and his boss, you get promoted, great vacation, and raises. If you are not, you are off to deep end without a future nor vacation days. A lot of unprofessional stuff continues on a regular basis for years now. Director and his managers use angry red faces and profanity at maximum volume as ways to get engineers to finish their jobs. Weekly meetings are always your highlight. If you get pulled in behind close door, then detail cannot be provided here without being censored. Bad work and life balance. HR is just a word in this company. They don't really physically exist.
