Satisfactory Work, un-satisfactory emoluments

Staff Engineer (Current Employee)
Greater Noida (India)

I have been working at STMicroelectronics full-time for more than 7 years

Pros- good working environment in few groups for self-motivated people
- Technically sound seniors

Cons- Large number of groups have repetitive jobs that add no value to one's own skill set
- Technically sound people have stayed back because there is no other option in north india, else attrition rate would have been much higher
- Poor time-to-market of IPs and products
- Laid back attitude in most of the groups
- Over the years the freshers talent pool has reduced a lot in quality

Advice to Senior Management- Take stock of the situation, there is a lot of scope of improvement in productivity
- Have longer vision rather than finding short-term solutions

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Career TRAP for Asian managers, retiring haven for older professionals

Manager Operations (Former Employee)
Singapore (Singapore)

I worked at STMicroelectronics full-time for more than 7 years

ProsWork Life balance as they dont disturb you during weekends. Starting salary is high but that's it as it will have a snail pace increment.

ConsToo many European senior managers. Doesn't train their managers to justify their contract. Ensuring that people under them specifically Asian managers looks incompetent to justify their existence. Very highly political environment and decisions are made ensuring expat bosses gets the credit. Its so shameful seeing directors shouting at each other in a meeting and basically they are RUDE.

Advice to Senior ManagementReview expat allocations as there are roles that can be integrated into one role ex. Director for warehousing and Director for Logistics can be merged.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
