Renesas...potential unrealized.

Pros

Some great technology and potential to be in the top 3 semiconductor vendor in the world.Some talented people working in the company. Great microcontroller products like the xx850 product lines. After the merger, the Renesas have a good collection of IP and talent pool.(Unfortunately the opposite applies). It has a strong global presence and would benefit utilizing the strenghts of each region.

Cons

Unfortunately after the last merger, it lacking cohesion and synergy. Have/had some really talented employees but alot of them over worked and undervalued. Some of the best have left and work load is speadout among those remaining. Employee's professional development,career path and investment in training is poor. Management is top heavy, internal politics, obsession with achieving short term budgets is sapping morale and company resources. Leadership???

Pros

Friendly Co-colleagues. Generally less pressure environment minus the politics

Cons

Poor management with no vision and leadership. Most work are passed down to ground staff as there are more general managers and senior managers than engineers. High turnover. No career prospect. Low pay and poor remuneration. Poor benefits. Promotion increment does not commensurate with increase workload. Annual increment at less than 3%. Internal power struggle and politics among management as company go through numerous rounds of merger. Management does not work in corporate interest to improve business but rather overly engaged in ousting one another even if the conflicts resulted in business loss. High risk as company restructure once every six months. Poor leadership as the same business goals and plans have been reiterated years after years.
