Pros

Worked about 4 years as a product engineer. Some products are very innovative, like DLP and GaN.

Cons

No work life balance. Project teams are not located in the same city, so late night or early morning meetings often required. Management is often not willing to provide tools and equipment needed to do work. The company is falling somewhat behind the competitors, and having to resort to ethically questionable practices to stay competitive. During my time with the company, I brought two ethics complaints to the corporate ethics office and they turned a blind eye and refused to do the right thing.

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
