Nice company to work for - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Staff Physical Design Engineer na empresa NetLogic Microsystems

bleeding edge technical design work in semiconductors. generally great engineers to work with.

little to no transparency, middle of organization is ruled by tyrants and empire builders.

- Salary was decent for me, as was RSU component - Office building is nice - Project road map is solid, at least for the short term - Opportunity to gain experience

Many of the senior engineers from the RMI days have already left, or they have simply checked out, waiting for their RSU/options to vest. What remains is under experienced engineers and managements. Project management is largely ad hoc and there is very little (if any) technical leadership. The issue isn't talent, it is the undue stress on employees caused by short development cycles, poor management, ego's driving technical decisions, etc. One can spin this as being a company with a start up feel, but I see it as undue stress on employees. - Limited opportunities to move to management - Small (basically single person) team leading architecture of next generation chip. - 4 years vesting period of RSU (I am not sure what is average in the industry, but could be shorter) - No 401K matching
