Analog Devices reviews

You somehow always feel like you are under-compensated, whether it is true or not. If you are not in MA you may end up reporting into there to someone who just happens to be located in the right place. Pretty much everything has been off-shored to Asia (including many customers' operations) so if there are any manufacturing or development or customer issues to be resolved (as there always are in every company) you can find yourself working over the phone late into the evening trying to get things done or find things out. In a different type of industry this is time that you could be spending with your family. I guess that is just the way things are now in every manufacturing industry, not just at Analog Devices.

Twenty years ago, Analog was the leader and other semis looked to what we were doing and imitated us. Now we are to scared to take calculated risks and be the leaders of the industry. We wait to see what everybody else is doing and get in line with them. (especially in regards to compensation) Not a lot of excitement. The type of personality that thrives at Analog is one that doesn't like change and just cares about getting a steady paycheck. They're willing to let their career be stagnant in exchange for that job security and steady paycheck.
