Pros – Engineers are excellent and working very hard. The vacation policy is as flexible as European company can. You could take 4-5 weeks off in a row. MEMS is being dominated by STM worldwide.

Current Employee – been working at STMicroelectronics full-time for more than a year

Pros – People are easy going and not much work pressure , typical European culture.

Cons – Lot of French and Italian politics around you and you would invariably be a victim of their favoritism .US centers are considered as an overhead and never given their due importance . Management locally is sluggish and spineless with no say in company's decisions . Overall not the best place to work if you want to have a bright career . Just about ok if you want to hang in there with an attitude of old time government employee .

Advice to Senior Management – I don't think Management needs an advice as they anyways have nothing in their hands , the best they do is hire people locally . All the decisions are taken from Europe .

Former Employee – worked at STMicroelectronics full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Individual contributors are very skilled and motivated. The company usually allows for a good degree of freedom in how we execute our work and are responsible for our results.
In general there is more attention to the people than in other, pure american, companies

Cons – Management sometimes loses focus and top directives are not clear or not always coherent. It requires a lot of self-direction and self-motivation. Salary range is not always in line with local competitors (Arizona / Colorado / California)

Advice to Senior Management – Make decisions and stick to them, unless they're proven wrong.

Current Employee – been working at STMicroelectronics

Pros – good place to work. nice people and opportunities to work on interesting projects with leading edge technologies. Very stable company.

Cons – ST is an European company, so the focus is in Europe and not in US. working here you feel you are very distant from the company

Advice to Senior Management – Invest more in US presence. while we are a European company we need to keep reinforcing our presence in US where our customers and competitors operate
