Improvement - Recensione dipendente - Analog Layout Engineer presso AnSem

Nothing that I could think of

- Very bad management. - All the good people have left. Most of the people who are still there are actively looking for a change. - Poor salary - Very poor work culture - Low quality work making a lot of compromises. - An exhaustive quality system but of no use.

• Good start for bachelor/master graduates with some basic IC background, since due to the company's small size you are entrusted quite early with complicated and advanced designs. • Good diversity of projects and clients (which unfortunately is slowly dropping)

• AnSem's biggest flaw is its management team. With extreme lack of empathy, common sense, and realistic goal mindset, there are two main outcomes. High workforce leaving rate and project mismanagement. • The high leaving rate results mostly in senior positions remaining vacant for long periods of time, and the project demands, and stress being shared among few employees with very little experience. • Although graduates can dive into advanced designs fast, there is no guidance from senior designers or team/project leaders, since they are too busy themselves with their never-ending list of tasks. • Favoritism is manifested especially when it comes to promotions and project resource allocation. • Minimum flexibility to work schedule. If you have doctor or family emergencies – which in other companies can be easily incorporated into your work schedule – you are required to take days-off. Working from home is allowed 1-2 times per month, under strict conditions, in order to discourage employees. • Compensation is poor compared to the effort employees put in.
