8 years with ON semiconductor - Design Engineer onsemi Employee Review

The company is focused on meaningful, long‑term impact, and you truly feel that the work you do matters—especially given onsemi’s role in power, automotive, and industrial technologies.

Like many large global companies, alignment across regions and functions can take time.

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
