RFMD Reviews

Pros

I like working at RFMD because they treat you like an adult. You have the freedom to do the job and the support to do it the way it needs to be done.

Cons

Some people stay too long who probably need to move on. There are some who are still working at RFMD who were there in the beginning and have not been able to change with the times.
