Pluspunten

Depending on the department, it could be good for retirement and work-life balance in semiconductor industry. Has 13th month AWS and variable bonus. Friendly culture among your colleagues (except with your superior). Good for those who want to remain in their comfort zone.

Minpunten

Not much career progression observed as seniors tend to stay put and do not leave. Do not have comprehensive training program for new hires, only rely on so called on-the-job training which means you will be thrown straight into work. Production team has much more says (be it project or operational issues). Some production supervisors do not care much about quality as they are only concerned of moves/quantity. A lot of unnecessary red tapes to go through, procedure is not streamline and too much manual jobs. Some managers but not all, do not exhibit much leadership when advice is needed. Said managers will not help fellow engineers when being unfairly scolded by HOD for the manager’s own problems. French/Italian nationals are preferred while Asians are second class citizens.

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
