Former Employee – worked at Analog Devices full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Benefits
quality products
sales incentive plan, including high car allowance.

Cons – Sales Management is weak, inconsistent and inexperienced. Marketing and product lines (factory) have more expertise and less employment volatility.

Advice to Senior Management – Sales Engineers should be recognized and rewarded for demand creation and account penetration. Currently, there is no incentive for sales engineers to be proactive when there are many ADI sales engineers with employment longevity who are passive and reactive.

Pros – Provides excellent opportunity to develop specific skills to keep you competitively productive.

Cons – Not working as part of any team, no incentives offered for extra effort. Work you like dogs with no piece of the pie in return.

Advice to Senior Management – With the last reduction of the profit sharing bonus, you have brought the majority of your employees just trying to make it with today's economic challenges to their knees. It is with their blood, sweat and tears you profit. Know that people are miserable, productivity has slowed to a crawl and there is no gratification working here. Restore the profit sharing bonus to what it was and give the workers back something and restore pride to the workforce.

Pros – Great people at this place... I made some good friends I'll keep forever. Some product families are really strong, some no so much. But the good ones dominate the business.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't stay fat and lazy on old business, take risks, margins won't always be high by themselves, you have to work on it.

Former Employee – worked at Analog Devices full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Ray Stata (founder). Solid engineering talent. Specialized market niche based on technology leadership. Great people. Haven for semiconductor professionals in the Boston area. Customers really value the brand.

Cons – Run too much by "old buddy" network, so a lot of less-than-professional practices are accepted. Future growth potential is doubtful, especially with the "betting big" approach. Often fails to compete in the big leagues because of bureaucratic leadership and sclerotic engineers.

Advice to Senior Management – Manufacturing is dragging you down. The company needs to be a lot of more multi-cultural.

Current Employee – been working at Analog Devices full-time for more than a year

Pros – Laid back. No rush for deadlines. Innovative projects and technical tool sets.
People are very helping, friendly and supportive. No issues working from home or remotely till you get the job done. A Matrix work environment. Overall a good place to begin a s/w career as 'll get to learn many processes of IT in a product based domain.

Cons – Zero or very less documentation. Everything is in people's head. Many old hags in the IT dept, lacks youngsters. Pay is not competitive as per market rate. Most of the work is outsourced to offshore teams and very minimal inhouse expertise.

Advice to Senior Management – Please give more attention to your IT dept. though its revenue consuming but still adds value to your firm and is important.
