varied and interesting work from the comfort of your own home! - Recensione dipendente - Staff Design Engineer presso Encore Semi

I have been employed by Encore Semi for the past 3 years and have truly enjoyed it. It is a growing company with a lot of potential. The benefit package enhanced significantly this year, 401K match & additional PTO. The people I work with are knowledgeable, friendly & make coming to work fun. Plus they know how to throw company events!

The traffic around the San Diego office... Although working remotely has its benefits, it does cause there to be a disconnect between employees & the employer. It is a more difficult to build a relationship and synergy via email/phone calls

Terrific professional engagements augmenting several IC design and verification projects at several large companies IC design companies. I would never have had this at any of my other employers. Met many thoroughly professional dedicated people. Satisfying work and considerable personal professional growth challenge. For a time there were several internal tech presentations that expanded my knowledge of the rest of the IC design process I barely knew. There was company-wide recognition for a a few folks who produced skillfully written presentations.

Developers are isolated to their projects so other than the handful of tech presentations there was only a little opportunity and almost no push to learn from the other developers and be able to grow their skills into mine. Pretty much have to be senior level already in order to be picked up for most roles. But maybe it's unrealistic to expect such a company to help sw people transition to sw-hw, hw, DFT, OVM, UVM, formal verification...
