Dialog Semiconductor Employee Reviews about "verification"

Pros

The cakes are nice. The people are OK too.

Cons

For a Digital Design/Verification Engineer, it's a career graveyard. I2C is as complicated as it gets. They don't do specs, so the verification is largely made up. If you stay here too long, you will probably retire here, as you will be unemployable anywhere else.

Pros

Good trainings, internal and external. Good people overall Good CAD tools flow

Cons

It has hard IP and Product Group division Product group is verification group it's not good for experienced professionals. Very limited new design in IP group done by old engineers rest people just support verification. Dialog has a YSS boss culture . Decision making is behind doors does not take employee s inputs they hear it for the sake of it but don't use it

Pros

Stable company (whilst business is good) Some People are OK.

Cons

Type of Work in main product is painful! Will be working on verification nearly all the time. Stale atmosphere. Too much ineffective middle-management.

Pros

Salary better than most competitors, offices are nice, some decent benefits.

Cons

-Very political and "cold", lots of back-biting. -Processes take a long time (training, for one). -Certain political players get all the good work and perks. Not good if not into politics - made me sick to see. -They retain poisonous employees who are either no good at their job, sow seeds of discord, or are very adept at playing the political game. Definitely favouritism. -Offices, while nice, are often lacking atmosphere. -Too many trying to climb the greasy pole. -Lack of communication in some offices. -Munich & Austrian offices over-worked. -Project management office treats you like a number. -Reverence for 'top designers' but couldn't see why; I saw several design flaws I would have changed. -Lack of interesting work for apps, design, and possibly other functions - heard this was particularly bad at Edinburgh site but can't confirm. -Analogue & Digital design was almost non-existent - across sites there is a lot of grumbling about designers being used only for verification purposes; design skills die out over time so not a good situation for the employee. -Personally, I left one of the German offices after just over a year for a LOWER salary at another company in Austria, but I'm getting better experience which will be of benefit in the long-run. Turns out money isn't everything.
