Pros

Great place if you have no desire to compete with other companies and the most important attribute is to be liked by the business units. Drivers will be punished. Sycophants are most welcome.

Cons

If you are not a discarded member of the old Motorola Semiconductor split that got cast to the woeful ON Semiconductor side rather than the Freescale's, and preferably lives in Phoenix at their headquarters, don't bother trying to get ahead at this company. It has to be one of the biggest cases of cronyism anywhere. If you're part of their "ex-Motorola club" you can get away with being as lazy and incompetent as you can imagine. Dilbert's Wally would be proud. However, if you're not part of the "click", then beware. If you fall in the "disliked by the business units mostly incompetent clowns, your career will be short lived. ON Semiconductor, where careers go do die...

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
