This is no good incentive system, no enough space for experienced and talent engineer, Sometime there is some ambiguous policy inside which damage the efficiency. The top level is good but it looks BU do not know 'action'. There is no too much responsible technical leader. Finally, the new products always have many ridiculous issues.

Advice to Senior Management

Find and promote the right people to the right place

Pros

One of the great reasons to work at Integrated Device Technology is their compressed work week schedule. The schedule is a rotating 3on 4off/ 4on 3off.

One of the downsides of working at Integrated Device Technology is the room for growth. It is hard to learn new things to advance. People keep their skills and insight to themselves for job security.

Advice to Senior Management

Integrated Device Technology is a great company to work for. It has given me the experience (years) to advance myself to a new company.
