Pros

I worked at Analog Photonics for 3 years. It is an incredibly interesting place with excited technology that is poised to have a major impact in the LiDAR field. My colleagues there were incredibly bright and I don't understand the negative reviews - this seem to all be coming from a single disgruntled employee. The CEO is a former MIT Professor who great to learn from, provided excellent raises, and always treated me well. The work is challenging and expectations are high but I learned a ton at AP. I highly recommend Analog Photonics!

Cons

It is a high paced environment so you are expected to work hard

Pros

The company offers exceptional opportunities to take on new challenges and expand your skill set, with exposure to the full spectrum of LiDAR development from concept to deployment. Leadership is encouraging and supportive of professional development, welcoming new ideas and fostering an environment where employees can take ownership of projects early in their careers. The workplace is highly collaborative, with knowledgeable colleagues who are always willing to share their expertise.

Cons

The fast-paced nature of projects can be challenging at times and requires adaptability to shifting priorities. Being self-motivated and proactive is important to make the most of the opportunities available.

Pros

The company is doing cutting-edge R&D in all areas of silicon photonics, so it is a great place to work to get real-world exposure to integrated photonics, integrated CMOS, laser design, III/V design, or system design. Working here is like working in an early Bell Labs. The employees are highly knowledgable, technically strong and great to work with, and it's the biggest strength of the company. The lab is also very well-equipped and the office is in a nice location in Seaport next to the ocean. Day-to-day work has always had lot of variety for me. Some days are doing simulations or design, other days are hand-on in the lab, or interacting with customers. I personally like the satisfaction of seeing a project go from a conceptual idea all the way to a working demonstration. It's a good place to work for photonics or electronics engineers.

Cons

Cutting edge R&D means lots of projects, also all work is on-site
