Pros

- Some talented individuals - Mostly WFH - Some interesting technology

Cons

This company has completely fallen apart. The acquisition has put it into an enormous amount of debt that it is struggling to repay. There have been no COL increases, the bonus has been cancelled. There have also been countless layoffs that has reduced the head count so much you will be doing the work of 2-3 people minimum. A hiring freeze ensures this will be the reality for the foreseeable future. The leadership at this company have no vision, no leadership and no idea what the identity of the company is supposed to be. Management can best be described as a bunch of glassy-eyed zombies. They will ask for suggestions, completely ignore them and then wonder why things failed. A paycheque is a payqheque, but if you have any other options, take them. This company will be bankrupt in the next five years.

Pros

I have to say the experience has been everything I hoped for. The hiring process was straightforward and well-organized – communication was clear throughout, the interviewers were respectful of my time, and I always knew where I stood in the process. It never felt like I was left in the dark. Once I started, the onboarding was welcoming and the team made me feel like part of the group right away. My manager and senior management team has been genuinely supportive – open to questions, provides clear direction, and actually listens. There's a real culture of collaboration here where people are willing to help each other out. Semtech works on cutting-edge technology and it shows in the caliber of the people here. I'm excited to be part of Semtech and come to work. Highly recommend for anyone considering making a move.

Cons

I have nothing to criticize

Pros

I joined Semtech in May 2025 and it's been a great decision. From early on, my role was well-defined with clear expectations and a development plan that gave me something real to work toward — not just a job description, but a direction. Semtech's technology matters in the market, and that comes through in how the work is prioritized and communicated at every level. Highly recommend Semtech to anyone looking for a company where your contribution is visible and your growth is taken seriously.

Cons

The onboarding process for remote hires could be more structured, and there are a lot of internal systems to learn upfront — but you find your footing quickly.
