Pros
It would be hard to believe that there is a better company for college grads, especially ones interested in design work. If you show the ambition and capability, you get to work on very cool things at PMC. As an entry level product development engineer, I worked on design projects that I never had thought I could. My friends at Broadcom and Qualcomm are so envious of my work. Some asked me to help them get a job here.
Cons
We work very hard and long hours. Salary is good but could be better - one of my mentors tells me of extreme salary compression once you have worked here for many years.
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Friendly people, willing to talk face to face. Technical experts willing to share with others. Doing technically challenging work, sometimes leading edge. Very good quality standards, and eager to maintain good customer relationships.
Cons
R&D design team does not respect other groups,rejects new ideas or approaches. There is no good sense of discipline, with frequent schedule slips. Designers mess up key features with no consequences. Dysfunctional behavior: confrontations, put downs, yelling in meetings or e-mails; but these disappear when talking face to face. A lot of churning through procedures and red-tape. Layoffs occur frequently, with no good reasons why. Very top heavy with management. International company but very Canadian centric, not open to other ideas or cultures.

Pros
Highly recommend, especially for entry level chip designers. You will do things at PMC quickly that you would not do for 3 to 5 years in other companies. Senior designers will help you. Love it here. Benefits are very good (at least compared to my previous companies).
Cons
Satellite offices all over the world can cause interesting conference call times. However the company is sensitive and there is usually a good amount of flexibility when this happens.
