Pros

-Stable and good work life balance unless working in an Apple focused group -Dallas is way cheaper than most tech hubs -Very good bonuses when the company does well. Last 3 have be ~15-17% of your annual salary -Lots of room to grow your skills through training or seminars -Market leader in analog parts so future is bright if that's your field of semiconductors -Very nice (but older) people

Cons

-Yearly raises are minimal in the 2% range even for pay grade bumps -Work can be slow sometimes -Salary and benefits are lower than what you'd get in a more competitive tech hub like Austin or SI Valley -The culture is stuffy compared to the hipper silicon valley companies (no shorts, no parties, no free food/drinks/snacks)

Pros

Individual contribution is awarded. Promotion opportunities are provided. Benefits are awesome.

Cons

Individuals that don’t contribute are not penalized. Occasional instability but not for hard working knowledgeable people.

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
