Good team but too many self inflicted wounds from Korea Mothership
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good team. US mgmt team overall is pretty good. Try to make the best mobile GPU to beat Qualcomm and Apple. I think the latest strategy to take on competitor is sound so potential is there.
Cons
But G2/Korea mothership keep on changing directions, redirecting resources and cancel projects. They dug a hole so deep themselves it maybe too late for them to catch up to their competitors.

Not a great place to work relative to other companies in Silicon Valley
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- well known brand within global technology industry - decent health benefits - good at doing research and providing daily autonomy - employee discounts on Samsung products - nice offices, cafeteria and fitness center
Cons
- total compensation is much lower than most other silicon valley companies - does not offer similar perks when compared to other silicon valley companies (shuttle buses, social gatherings, personal development opps, community) - human resources has no autonomy to operate making them insignificant - no room for professional growth and development (no upward mobility) - senior management is very slow to make project decisions + new CEO every few years makes it unrealistic to research, develop and bring a new products to market

- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Nothing to say. location in Mountain View?
Cons
If you dream work in silicon valley tech company, you have to run away. This company is not a free culture like Apple, Google. Honestly it has a terrible culture and no process other than local small company. Dispatchers only care about the work which is useless but reveal their position to HQ. They make terrible place and also HQ does. They do not guarantee or make a environment for research at your will.

Pros
Really none. Easy starting point to IT industry because they're always hiring?
Cons
Poor salary, promotions based on politics, horrible work & life balance, incompetent upper management, more like a subcontractor design company for HQ, no room for creativity. Avoid if possible.
