Worst company I’ve worked for in my career

Pros

That’s it’s in SoCal. Benefits are good

Cons

The management is like a boys club; if you are not accepted by them, no way of growth. Tight headcount, no work life balance, unrealistic expectations, worst management who don’t fight for you but blame you on everything, too many people stay there for +20 years and just wait for retirement, and these people don’t accept outsiders easily. No career growth.

Great for Hardworking Bootlickers

Pros

Overall compensation wise it's good. RSU grant significant enough to inflate your measly pay that if you've decide to leave the company, it'll hard to find match in a similar sector. Great Medical Benefits. Phone bill claim. No OT claim, but able to claim meal/Taxi. A lot of leaves per year (>24 days), Vacation Match - you can convert your leave into pay.

Cons

Ever since Qualcomm's anti-trust lawsuit settlement with Taiwan. HQ is all in on accelerating the Taiwan's growth at the expense of Singapore workforce. Basically SG has been deprioritized, there's a doom and gloom atmosphere among SG employees and morale is low. The company culture significantly rewards boot-lickers instead of actual expertise. A sycophant's paradise if you're looking to advance higher. It's pathetic seeing your colleagues trying so hard at bum-sucking and flatter everything their bosses say. Don't expect work life balance. Nobody remembers or observes public holidays ever existed. Basically you're expected be available to work 7 days a week, and people bother you non-stop even you've clearly taken Annual Leave.

Pros

Good benefits (ESPP, RSUs, health insurance, and 3x salary life insurance)

Cons

Company has horrible leadership top to bottom. They only promote people like themselves. No way to provide feedback about people above you. Also, if you are not an engineer, you are last priority to the company.
