Disgusting.

Pros

Nothing per se. Located in good cities, San Jose, Irvine and Carlsbad. Everything else doesn't matter. Tried hard but cannot think of any.

Cons

Pathetic management with unrealistic expectations. Please do not end up here. Totally immature managers trying to climb up the ladder at the cost of employees.

Cons

Low salaries due to h1 workers with phds. Bad management. Senior engineers work on the cool projects. No sick days. Long hours. Late meetings.

Pros

Good technology, good products, good roadmap. Top management has been making right decisions

Cons

Terrible, authoritarian style company culture. Everything is top down, very stiff w/o much freedom or flexibility at bottom. Most staying employees don't feel happy about the culture but they choose to tolerate it for various reasons. Very high turn over ratio for former Entropic employees (acquired in 2015). It's ridiculous for such a high tech company to keep reinforcing working hours!
