Pluspunten

STMicroelectronics has a very wide range of activities (from sensors to microcontrollers and systems on chip) and if you're a hardware engineer or if you want to find out how the silicon industry works, it's a great place to be.

Minpunten

As a software engineer I have mixed feelings. Apparently, some managers still don't understand that software is as critical as hardware. On the other hand you can also find some very successful software teams.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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
