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

Pros – Some very good and interesting new consumer electronics development opportunities. Good growth opportunities in high-end TV. HDMI, MHL are big wins. New management responsive to some problems.

Cons – The work can get repetitive and boring. Once you get a circuit to work you are the "Expert" and keep doing redesigns to port it to a new technology. Little chance for new innovation. Need to break into smartphones to be very successful.

Former Employee – worked at Silicon Image

Pros – - Reasonable work hours
- Not too bad compensation overall

Cons – - Middle management as well as senior management (related to my field) sucks big time as far technical decisions/review process are concerned
- Compensation need to go with technical skill set (for technical positions)
- Highly biased ethnically e.g stupid and in competant people but of same ethnicity at decision making positions
- Upper management working just for their personal gains and not for company's

Advice to Senior Management – - Do complete overhauling of some of middle level management based on skill set and not based on ethnicity
- Reward right people professionally as well as money wise if you want to see company grow

Pros – Join here if you don't have a personnel life.. its an exciting company working on leading edge protocols like HDMI, MHL etc..

Cons – Consumer electronics companies need to compete on penny basis and this puts lot on pressure on employees to meet the aggressive schedules with absolutely with no additional resources.
You may end up working on Christams, Thanksgiving and even on Jan 1st...This is very routine for engineering staff..

Current Employee – been working at Silicon Image

Pros – Design contribution into HDMI , MHL Standards is SUPER!

Cons – Somehow no enthusiasm and happyness seen in employees, as it goes for GOOGLE employees. I would like to get some innovation that no other companies do. God Bless Silicon image! It gives us the "bread"!

Advice to Senior Management – Bring Silicon Image to #1 leading company in semiconductor field... :-)

Current Employee – been working at Silicon Image

Pros – Talented engineers and a good working working environment. Information within local branch can be shared verbally and assistance is provided when dealing with difficult issues.

Cons – This is company that has been plaqued by leading the race in new HDMI feature introduction rather than actual sustenance of product sales. Job responsibility is spread too wide. It is essentially a startup company in guise of a public one. Management is heavily dependent on execution rather than getting the job right. Upper management seems to think that IP is more valuable than employee contribution. Priorities and project management is a joke, all projects have deadlines within the same time period. Some departments have too many line level managers. Hardly any proposition for job improvement laterally or vertically.

Advice to Senior Management – Value your employees. Get a real Product Management and Marketing team.
