Avantages

Skilled engineers, but also friendly, open minded, always ready to share experience, make STMicroelectronics a very good place to learn; Also young engineers are involved in important and advanced projects; Plenty of nice locations worldwide, internal mobility is somehow allowed (sometimes this is the best way to grow); Very good high-technology projects.

Inconvénients

Bad place if you seek for a fast career: regardless of your skills, seniority is more important; Salary low and stagnant, so it cannot be meritocratic; The top managers are too busy with reorganizations to follow the company, and continuous unjustified reorganizations generate low efficiency and a general chaos; According to some Italian newspapers (www.cataniatoday.it), another general reorganization will be announced next week.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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
