Business Outlook
Pros
Great compensation and work-life balance. Career opportunities are abound with a lot of autonomy
Cons
Stodgy, old and slow to implement change. They didn't even have company email until somewhere around 2006, and were still sending out paper company memos to your mailbox when I left in 2013. Emails would have been instant and saved paper. Management was out of touch and not technically inclined, but more task masters. During the recession of 2008-2009, when Linear was forced to reduce its workforce, it was sad to see technically superior engineers be let go instead of others due to purely personal favorites and political reasons.
