Best job ive had. Sad to see it go.. - Recensione dipendente - Mfg Cell Lead/Peer Trainer Tech III presso STMicroelectronics

The company treats people well

Large organization without a clear onboarding process

If you thrive in a low-accountability environment where showing up is enough, this is your paradise. No one is measured on output — just tenure and nationality. Perfect if ambition makes you uncomfortable.

Where do I start. STMicro is a company that peaked decades ago and has been coasting ever since. The entire organization is paralyzed by Franco-Italian politics — your career trajectory has nothing to do with your performance and everything to do with which country you're from and who you know in Geneva or Grenoble. Middle management is a graveyard of lifers who haven't had an original idea since 2005. Decision-making is painfully slow, innovation is non-existent, and any attempt to push for change gets buried in committees. The semiconductor industry is moving at lightning speed and STMicro is standing still. Competitors are lapping them while leadership congratulates itself in PowerPoint presentations. If you're ambitious, talented, or value meritocracy — run. This place will grind you down and waste your best years. Advice to Management: Stop pretending politics and nationality don't drive every major decision. The talent is leaving and you're not getting it back
