Cons

1. You need to be self motivated and show lots of initiation. Projects don't come to you - u need to make them happen. 2. Health coverage is shrinking every year 3. Pay has been frozen for 2 years now ---- some frustated engineers bcos of that. 4. Upper management doesnt have clear goals for the company --- CEO regurgitates what he said 5. years ago in quarterly updates. 6. Dont see much career advancement 7. Feel isolated from silicon valley dynamics 8. Worst IMMIGRATION department. If you need to apply for green card they have a very slow and incompetant legal department. I've finished 3 years and still not started the process.

Pros

Occasionally challenging projects, COMPLETELY an engineer's company, informal culture, self-driven work - no pressure, relatively fewer employees - fun.

Cons

Gets a bit too relaxing in between projects. Occasional customer queries can get on one's nerves, slightly less than competitive salaries.

Pros

There are good engineers especially in product and test development. They really know how to bring products to market. Work time is very flexible and work at home is possible. Their benefits package is equal to or better than most equivalent companies.

Cons

If you are an offsite location, i.e., not in Norwood or Wilmington, MA, your career advancement is very limited. Most of the engineers I've seen work for 5, 6, 7 years without any promotion. If you are not connected or have some face time with senior management, you are anonymous, just another cog in the wheel. It also helps if you have some analog expertise. That's why the company is called Analog Devices.
