Pros

Benefits and pay is decent

Cons

Used to be better, with market downturn it’s the absolute WORST! Where to begin? Too many negatives. NO work life balance . Zero leadership and management with low emotional intelligence. Lots of people bossing each other around. Yelling, screaming and swearing is normal. Fire drill after fire drill, there is no time to do your actual job. People throw each other under the bus constantly, including management. No respect for boundaries, very little respect and trust for employees. ZERO empowerment. 100% micromanagement. Many are two faced and backstabbing, they are good at twisting words around on you. The divisions control the company and don’t care for customers or salespeople. HR is useless and the stuff they do is all for SHOW, social media & investors they don’t care to help employees whatsoever. Every process and procedure is cumbersome and complicated. Analysis paralysis. If you enjoy being miserable and beat up on at work, find a job at ST!

Pros

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.

Cons

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
