Rewarding for people with research experience and depth of knowledge in the field is not that great. This could be specific to the site I work in. There is a general lack of value of specific skillsets and tendency to manage out with whatever resources are available. This affects the quality of work.

Dont pay people for politics, Do something to get company going.

Pros

Great work culture. I made great friends at Freescale and that includes my supervisors.
The interaction with international teams is very high and you learn a lot.
The cpmpany is young and there is an atmosphere of great energy.

Cons

The professional growth is limited to technical only. It will be a long time before you manage a team.
Also, after a few years one starts getting jaded with the same work. But I guess thats the nature of this profession.
Opportunities to work in other design centres are very low.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more transparent in their decisions. Often, the projects were dropped when the employees were in the last stages of the project.

Pros

Lot of good things can be done here that you have already done before.

Cons

Slow decision making, not the best people in decision making. People don't want to change and open to realty.

Advice to Senior Management

Please dont just fill positions at mid level management. Please bring in people that are best in the industry. The old guys have already rusted, need to bring in new guys.

good work and oppurtunities for growth......................................

Cons

layed back people and managment. Risk talking ability is low. too much process oriented.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on building expertise rather than cutting cost. With some many projects being done, Freescale lacks techincal people like Architects to take the group forward. FSL have lot of good people but again all are all multiplexing between several projects..
