Design Role Review

Senior staff design engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Get to do state of the art design. Nice team and open discussion culture. Great place to learn the finer aspects of SoC design

Cons

Work pressure is sometimes extremely high. Resource allocation for projects is always done with lower people than required, thereby putting unnecessary pressure on people working. Employee facilities aren't great. There are no travel/food facilities to the employees and the management doesn't seem to bother about it. Pay is slightly lower compared to competitors.

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Flexi work arrangement, WFH on Fridays + RSU + Plenty of really great people to work with

Cons

- Company as a whole keeps changing direction, resulting in projects getting delayed / poorly executed. - Finger-pointing is rampant when there's delay to the project schedules. - Program managers are aplenty. Some speak so loud as if there's arguments daily on the floow. - People managers hired to take on technical role. Some can be clueless in the technical aspect.
