International Semiconductor Company - Anonymous employee Silicon Storage Employee Review

Fun small business happy fun cool

Stinky dirty people wages outside

They are involved with a wonder evolving technology: flash technology. They do have a breadth of customers in USA, Asia, and Europe. Time is somewhat flexible. Some very nice friendly people work here, but see the cons below.

Very Asian based company which creates some interesting situations in the workplace and with customers. Seems they are not upfront with customers. Frugality is the mode of operation. The conference rooms are folding chairs and tables from Costco. This had driven away some applicants. Seems the technical infrastructure is extremely thin. The equipment used is old and outdated and it takes alot of work to get what is needed to attempt to do a professional job. Project /program management is completely missing from this company. What they call project management is someone filling in excel spreadsheets whenever they have time to do it while doing their real job. Seems they are trying to do things and develop products by throwing a few people at it on a whim rather than planning what product to do, justifying the effort for the product, establishing the manpower, equipment and time needed to appropriately do what is necessary. I get the feeling that competency is low here. Evidence of this can be witnessed during daily intereactions. They have been involved with some really cool products but don;t seem to what what it takes to drive the business and technology forward.
