A cesspool of failed IITians

Pros

The US location is close to the ocean.

Cons

A miserable place to work. Misery loves company, no pun intended. Don't be fooled by the "RF" position. The work is not that great a lot of times. Don't get scammed. Some people here are delusional and must meet good psychiatrists.

Pros

Cutting edge technology, big mixed signal SoC, professional teams around the world

Cons

One man decides everything and whenever it fails he blames the engineering departments. Very not stable and 3-4 times a year there are layoffs. Projects are canceled or delayed. Company tries to save pennies
