Vantaggi

Generally interesting work available Good learning opportunities exist Good engineering talent present Vast majority of the engineering staff is easy to work with Good upside potential if the business changes work out

Svantaggi

Fair amount of uncertainty in the business outlook due to the transition in product mix Like most tech jobs, aggressive schedule targets can create high pressure situations Not a particularly nurturing environment There is a noticeable loss of momentum and hope in the past year San Diego engineering workspace can be cramped and noisy in most work areas Recent layoffs have significantly impacted morale Employment turnover, while fairly low in the past, is starting to increase Middle management tends to remain very busy with technical work resulting in very uneven management practices

Vantaggi

I worked here when it was called "Trident Microsystems" in Austin, but they've since been bought by Entropic. Interesting work to be done. SoC design and implementation was fascinating, and I liked my colleagues and co-workers. A lot of "industry leading" technology was available to work with.

Svantaggi

The work atmosphere was terrible. I knew of people who were working until 4am, collapsing, and then coming back to work the next morning at 8am, for months at a time. Unrealistic schedule and goals. When I quit, we were losing 4-6 engineers a month with no backfills. The workload crept higher and higher daily. The management, sales, and marketing were making promises and demands that engineering could not keep up with. The Austin team has changed hands many times (Brooktree, Conexant, Phillips, NXP, Trident, etc) and there's no consistency. Overall, a toxic place to work.
