STMicroelectronics Reviews in New Delhi, India Area

Pros

Good work environment
No Aggressive schedule

Cons

Less pay
less growth as senior people don't leave

Advice to Senior Management

Need to put more focus on the technical growth ladder

Pros

Good technology, good products and work life balance.

Cons

Limited scope for career growth.

Advice to Senior Management

Transparency in promotions is required.

Pros

Very less and simple work, even non-technical persons can also do the technical work at ST. Safe haven for inefficient managers and engineers for longer stay. Less availability of good vlsi engineers in New Delhi area therefore there is job security.

Cons

Most of the immediate supervisors/managers are inefficient therefore they always support their inefficient team members for their own job security and growth.
Mostly promotions and good salary hike are given to least performer and inefficient employees causing best performer to leave the company.
Knowledge of dirty politics is required for better growth and job security.
Not recommended to work for more than 4 years else he/she will become jack of all trades and master of none.

Advice to Senior Management

The senior management should replace 95% of middle management.
The team members should do appraisal to their immediate supervisor.

Pros

Work life balance is great. Not a single project in 2.5 years demanded staying back till late. In fact staying back till late was questioned. It is a good place to retire, because there is not much growth. ST is your typical enterprise with many processes well established, if not optimized.

Cons

There is not much growth in this company. My specific team is marred with dirty politics and favoritism. There is a lot of bureaucracy to get good ideas implemented. ST is your typical enterprise which has a lot of momentum and doesn't seem to change. It still respects seniority over performance when it comes to salaries and promotions.

Advice to Senior Management

The management seems to consist of many well-experienced folks. But this also means they are from an era bygone! Even moderately recent technologies are unheard of. For example, web design is still done in HTML, not PHP, not AJAX, not Flex, but plain old HTML. State of some affairs are really sad with the decision maker being retrograde. Getting processes optimized is a pain point, even if one has numbers to prove their point.

Management buy-in for new ideas is far less than it should be. I wish senior management would leave experimenters alone, with reasonable help and funds, rather than getting stuck with approval for each and every minor change.

Also a big change can be brought if Information Technology is implemented, for knowledge management and improving usability of daily tasks, in the ideal way info tech is meant to be used.

Pros

Balance life between Work and family.
Good Exposure to Technology.
Wide Variety of Work in ASIC domain.

to be a little more open and transparent in their dealings with the employees and early communication of changes in policies and business directions.
