Pros

Silicon Labs has historically been a company run by engineers, and as such, the people there are competent and fostered a healthy culture of learning.

Cons

Silicon Labs has changed from an engineer's company to a shell of itself with c-suite vultures at the helm solely interested in short term gains. This is all done under the excuse that that the industry downturn "is unprecedented" - not so when the excess funds from the Skyworks divestiture was used to buyback stock and remodel the HQ buildings. That propping up of the stock price didn't really help for long, did it?

Pros

The work was engaging and gave me the opportunity to learn a variety of new methods for integrating and modeling chips and peripherals across interesting IoT applications.

Cons

Guidance was limited, and frequent shifts in management priorities led to many projects being scrapped before completion. As a result, I often found myself moving between loosely related topics rather than building momentum on any one area. My assignments didn't consistently align with my core strengths, and opportunities for growth felt limited.
