Advice to Senior Management

Need to restructure resource throughout extensive people reviews though it sound almost impossible or very hard to fullfil.

Pros

In Italy Numonyx is one of few company working in semiconductor field and at the begining it is a good place to start a technical career because you can learn the microelectronic way to work. In a technical point of view is a very interesting place to work

Cons

Numonyx works on microelectronic field and in Italy, may be in europe, that filed is very poor of opportunities. So working in Numonyx could mean become not interesting for the job-market and on the other side Numonyx is not a growing company with a managment abilities poor.

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing

Pros

Small teams and divisional focus makes for excellent communication at a local level. Everyone seems to know one another since most came from Intel.

Cons

Company is the merging of two divisions of Intel and ST Micro's flash groups. The problem is that they still seem to work like two different companies. The communication and planning are terrible.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on getting the groups to work together and communicate where you are in relation to the rest of the competition.

Pros

New brand, this means a fresh hope and better enthusiasm....well this is more true in the US, I don't think same mood is also for Europe....

Cons

no cultural identity. no "team building at corporate level. very limited capital investment.

Advice to Senior Management

try to manage fairly their employee base.

Pros

Company that is trying to find its way. There are opportunities to make a real difference here.
Benefits and compensation are quite good compared to industry norms.

Cons

Executive staff is struggling to come up with a vision. Infighting between the Intel and ST cultures leads to delayed decisions and revisited decisions.

Advice to Senior Management

Make the hard calls and move forward with them.
Be up front with paths that are no longer viable. Keeping all options alive saps the ability for the organization to move forward quickly.
Listen and acknowledge the voices from the employee base.

Pros

(I hope this does not appear twice, I had some problem to register a review)
memories are the underdog of the semiconductor industry, every analyst saying how bad we (=memory maker) are.
however memory functionality - and in particular non volatile memory functionality is a key part of any electronic system.
It is clear that, for example, "Microcontroller with embedded Flash" will take part of the "Market Segment of board with Microcontroller requiring a non volatile memory" but it will definitely not take all the segment.
So what is bad in being in a Niche of the market? What is important is to be profitable, which is a challenge but ... what is not a challenge in life?

Cons

coping with cost saving measure forced by the challenging economical environment

Advice to Senior Management

Take the best of the two companies:
STM: commitment and relationship with customer
Intel: technology
