Pros

Highly competitive salary and benefits, talented workforce, strong company financials, and recent merger of ADI and Maxim still has a long way to go to streamline and improve the employee experience

Cons

High pressure, constant on-call expectations for salaried manufacturing support engineers on nights and weekends. Understaffed and unable to retain enough engineers to meet staffing targets, consistently resulting in current employees burning out or looking elsewhere in our out of the company. Experienced outside hires quickly become frustrated and have high turnover. Women often opt-out of manufacturing engineering and are poorly represented in management. When women leave, the excuse is typically that they "don't have the right personality to take the pressure." Manufacturing Engineering management is "old-school" with a lot of influence from local Intel and it's culture, and it tends to prefers a draconian approach to work, reluctant to allow the flexible work options to employees that ADI includes in its policies, preferring that salaried engineers are physically present at the office to be babysat during work hours, even though employees frequently demonstrate that on-call work can be done remotely. Manufacturing hasn't shaken off the old toxic legacy Maxim Integrated culture, which is creating a huge disconnect between ADI corporate's messaging and the Beaverton site .

Pros

Company made effort to bring in employees together Good mobility within the company- plenty of opportunities to move or transfer to different roles/ departments/ locations

Cons

A lot of different programs or initiatives that didn't go anywhere or result to nothing You think the company cares, but not really. Reorgs and layoffs happens very frequently. Folks who got affected seemed random and not well- thought of.
