Pros

Pretty good 401K match. Pay is average to the industry I think. Bonuses get better as you advance in grade level. If you are a really hard worker, you need not even put in 40 hours to run circles around the average workers. But if you are not in MA, opportunities are limited. Either move to MA or battle it out with the senior site managers and engineers.

Cons

A re-org means that some people at E13 and above swap nameplates and titles around, change accounting buckets of products, alter some group names and call it change. Everyone else is wondering why it was called a re-org. There is hardly any growth left in this company with the current resolve to hold back increased investment. It has the same revenues as 10 years ago and the same stock price to boot. They have quit talking about becoming a $5B company anymore. The engineers work on projects in the lab and at design stations, while managers stay in their offices with the doors closed most of the time. It is a rare sight to see a manager looking at the technology in the lab or elsewhere.

Pros

It's similar to working at university. You are on your own and need to be self motivated, but there is lots of knowledge and help available around if you ask for it. You yourself take care of your professional development, you choose the areas that are most interesting for you, in between design projects you have lots of time and opportunities to research, try different ideas and architectures. If you are lazy and not motivated, it's a good place with stable job for you to sit quietly in your qubicle and slowly do routine projects. But if you love the black magic of analog engineering, that is the best place to grow professionally. As opposed to university it is more rewarding in a sense that you see your ideas implemented in real products very quickly. At companies I worked before I had hard times putting my ideas into silicon, the responce was - "we are not a university, we need to get the product out ASAP, we have no time or resources for that kind of innovations and can not take the risk". Well, I guess that is why ADI is so succesfull - because they do have time for innovation.

Cons

As opposed to professional growth, the career and salary growth is slow. Again like working at university, you will get rewarded after a decade or two of succesfull work and innovations, but don't expect quick appreciation of your efforts.

Good benefits; Poor internal communication

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. The company has money and knows how to manage it. Diversified product line helps during recessions.

Cons

Internal communication is poor most of the time; vague at best. Company can be slow moving strategically.
