Analog Devices Software Systems Design Engineer reviews

- Focus is on revenue. This drives management to push for low margin commodity type products instead of high-margin cutting edge products. - Base salary was OK, but lack of RSU's and other reasonable methods of compensation meant overall pay was lacking. - Service to customers did not exist if they were not a major player. Lower volume customers left to centralized support that was not as capable. Doing this meant customers that grew into higher volume sales felt left hanging when they were starting out. - Layoffs are far too regular and difficult to predict where or who they might target. Good people with a solid track record could be laid off because they were put in a bad spot. M&A activity just accelerated this. - Employees treated as an expense on the P&L, not an investment. Experienced people that were paid higher were often focus of layoffs or limited on raises/RSUs/bonuses to focus on lower level employees. Employees expected to be loyal to ADI, but not reciprocated by management. - M&A of other companies fails to find best parts of those companies and integrate it and instead force the 'ADI way' onto what was a more streamlined and profitable system. - Acronyms. EVERYTHING HAS AN ACRONYM. Just be willing to say the few words! - Decisions made by consensus of committee rather than empowering people to take responsibility and make things happen.

Maybe not competitive compared abroad but is competitive locally in Philippines.
