Since they acquired Sierra Wireless, it’s all gone downhill... - werkgeversreview Senior Staff Engineer bij Semtech

I have to say the experience has been everything I hoped for. The hiring process was straightforward and well-organized – communication was clear throughout, the interviewers were respectful of my time, and I always knew where I stood in the process. It never felt like I was left in the dark. Once I started, the onboarding was welcoming and the team made me feel like part of the group right away. My manager and senior management team has been genuinely supportive – open to questions, provides clear direction, and actually listens. There's a real culture of collaboration here where people are willing to help each other out. Semtech works on cutting-edge technology and it shows in the caliber of the people here. I'm excited to be part of Semtech and come to work. Highly recommend for anyone considering making a move.

I have nothing to criticize

- Facilities are well maintained, and the environment is generally clean and organized. - A bonus structure exists for hourly and salaried staff. - Many managers and technical leads are approachable and willing to help. - Starting pay can be competitive depending on the role. - Plenty of employee parking. - Training programs are structured and help new hires ramp up efficiently.

- Compensation does not keep pace with cost of living, and raises feel reactive rather than intentional. - Bonus structures lack consistency. - The culture in some areas has shifted toward heavy oversight and micromanagement. What was once more results focused now feels compliance driven, with increasing restrictions that have hurt morale. - Benefits are expensive relative to coverage quality. Healthcare premiums significantly reduce take home pay - Conflict resolution often appears risk averse and liability focused rather than employee focused - The company doesn't seem to care about employee assets. - Internal priorities and project expectations are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and frustration. - The rollout of unlimited PTO has created more confusion than flexibility.
