Analog Devices Employee Reviews about "management"

Pros

Good management and careful of decision

Cons

Very slow promotion and sometimes stressful

Pros

Good People and Great Benefits

Cons

Not much room for growth and the company tended to switch management and reporting structures at the drop of a hat

Pros

Good leadership from management and as long as you can work independently you will be successful

Cons

I was only there 6 months, but as with many companies trying to figure out how to function during covid was challenging. It was a dive in and see if you can float environment, but that was a good situation for me because I enjoy the fast pace. Just when I was starting to get to know my team, the contract ended.

Pros

You can enjoy a good life as an integrated circuit designer. The environment is relaxed, they give plenty of space for creativity, and performance is valued more than deadlines. They hire some of the best designers that you can find in the industry and it is a great place to learn.

Cons

Most of the designers work in small chips and they specialize in a single type of circuit, which does not provide them with a broad base for their future career. The professional growth opportunities are limited, and experience is more valued than talent. Working in a remote site is not pleasant due to management ignoring feedback from those that do not work in the headquarters. Marketing does a poor job, and HR is absolutely useless.

Pros

You will gain a tremendous amount of experiences in a short amount of time if you're in the right department.

Cons

The organization is chaotic. There were so many reorganizations with no employee development. Your goal from your previous managers are voided. If you wanted to move up the corporate ladder then this isn't the place. Take the Diversity and Inclusion award with a grain of salt. Analog Devices has some work to do. They can't keep their POCs. The men in upper management gave different messages than the woman in upper management that showed a very messy organization. Just imagine when you include a POC to the mix. This company, like many, are run by cis-white males: same mind sets and same ways. Do you really want to work for a company like that? Transparency is awful. Communication is terrible. If you were promise something, make sure you have a paper trail, otherwise, they will gaslight you.

Pros

Severance packages are good if you have been here long enough.

Cons

Disorganized and absent management. No work-life balance. Management is reactionary and does not adequately plan anything resulting in constant emergencies and a poor work experience.

Pros

-Comprehensive training -Develops your skills -Some editors are helpful

Cons

My experience at ADI was terrible and by moving on to another company, I've discovered how awful the work culture is at this office. From the morning you come into the moment you leave, you are flooded with projects in collaboration with engineers that are happy to ignore your emails and then throw you under the bus when deadlines slip. Many of them are either extremely rude with their responses or are unwilling to cooperate and balk at every step. You are pushed beyond your limits daily with these interactions and while upper management will step in at some points, they're far more concerned with preserving their image than actually confronting these people. You're forced to keep a meticulous log of emails to defend yourself when you're inevitably blamed for the project being late. You have to work from a contracting position with low pay, no health insurance and no vacation days whatsoever for a job that requires a high level of skill and effort. It's no wonder people keep going through the workplace like a sliding door as the compensation is far too low for the amount of abuse endured. As a result, upper management only sees you as dispensable and treats you accordingly with little respect. If they're not micro-examining your every move (which is compounded by the time tracking system), they're yelling at you for small mistakes and creating more paranoia in an already stressful environment. There is no team spirit in this workplace as everyone is stressed out of their minds trying to finish everything in time. While editors do help each other, talking to senior editors can be intimidating as responses can be back-handed and sarcastic. The department director refuses to understand the importance of editors and thus allows this mistreatment to continue, while keeping the job at contract-to-hire, a ridiculous practice that discourages editors from staying full-time. I do not recommend accepting this job unless you are desperate for work or need something to build your resume. The level of disrespect from the engineers you work with is unreal and upper management is strict and intimidating. The job is incredibly stressful with multiple projects and the time tracking program coupled with upper management's microattention makes this place extremely oppressive. This place is not worth the unimaginable stress and cold work culture.

Pros

Flexible hours. Great work-life balance. Analog really takes care of their employees through both of these and couples them with great pay and benefits. Analog provides engineers with the ability to work on a variety of projects without the constant pressure from management. This helps foster a creative environment.

Cons

Flat hierarchy. A majority of upper management are composed of older, experienced workers... most of whom have been in the same positions for many years. Seems that these positions will not be available to other employees unless new ones are created or people leave. This makes it difficult for younger employees to move up.

Pros

the work in advanced 5G projects

Cons

* poor management *selfish and miserable people *stingy and miserly management *want you to work for free *they don't want you to think, just implement what the manager want *poor opportunities for young engineers *promotions depends on relationships not your work

Pros

Its a very good company to work. Lots of opportunity for growth and pay scale is pretty decent. There are lots of smart engineers work for this company and if you are willing to learn and mover further you can do without much hassle.

Cons

Upper management sometimes is unaware of the amount of good work done at lower level.
