Pros

-If you are 55 and above it is a great place to work because: 1. Most people are not held accountable 2. There are probably greater number of slackers than you 3. Lay offs have reduced in the recent yrs 4. Good bloated pay checks 5. Company is surviving because of a few top quality engineers

Cons

1. Unqualified people are promoted, making the middle-level management extremely weak 2. Ass-kissing is a must. If you don't chances are there is no career advancement 3. Abuse of authority by people who should not have it in the first place 4. In order to get promoted, one has to be part of the good ol' boy network 5. Company is so busy with acquisitions they are forgetting to improve in-house existing talent 6. People do not work as a team or towards a common goal because every employee is rated against others when it comes to performance evaluations (old motorola methods) 7. Good talent is not appreciated or rewarded (excepting people who follow con #2 mentioned here)

The company is focused on meaningful, long‑term impact, and you truly feel that the work you do matters—especially given onsemi’s role in power, automotive, and industrial technologies.

Cons

Like many large global companies, alignment across regions and functions can take time.

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
