Anonymous employee
Fast moving and dynamic. Plenty of opportunity to do interesting work. Plenty of very experienced professionals in the company who are able to get things done. Opportunity to work with people from many Countries and appreciate different cultural backgrounds.
Limited career growth opportunities and training budgets limited. Working across time-zones can make working days very long. Compensation competitive although not reviewed for a while.

Hardware engineer
One of the best training center for fresh engineer Challenging projects where you can improve your skills Good environment with friendly colleagues whom you can learn a lot from Good salary and benefit if your performance is high
Resignation issue lead to lacking experience engineers but also an opportunity for new engineers Project schedules are tight anf workload is high for some groups No 13th month, only 1 bonus per year although the bonus is big
Automotive business, sales and marketing
Few non challenging roles, more focus on hardware and less on software
Great place for those wanting to work on cutting edge R&D work developing Wireless Modem Software. Management welcomes people with great R&D skills, but not much opportunity for other support functions or front end roles Campus is huge as it is set up as part of a open defence industry compound
Company was acquired by Broadcom

Sr analog layout engineer
Positive Work Environment: Friendly and supportive colleagues, collaborative culture. Diverse and Inclusive Culture: Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, supportive of all employees. Community Engagement: Opportunities for volunteer work, community service, and company-sponsored events.
Poor Management: Lack of direction, unapproachable or unsupportive managers. Limited Resources: Insufficient budget, outdated technology, or inadequate staffing. Poor Communication: Lack of transparency, inconsistent messaging from leadership.
good working environment and total compensation
tight schedule and lots of overtime
Senior staff engineer
CEO is focused on the right things
Sometimes there is too much bureaucracy because company is headquartered in Japan and trying to get things done in the USA is hard. Company keeps buying other companies so time is spent on intergrating companies rather than focusing on day to day tasks.
Maintenance engineer
Works in a friendly environment, easy to socialize
High workload are rewarded to top performer
flexible working environment with great managenent
company currently going under re-organize
Electrical engineer
Good amount of PTO and Sick leave
Pay is low for the area
Senior applications engineer
Decent pay and fair severance package
There are too many middle managers and not enough workers. 4 layers of managers asking what you're doing. No future with this company. No sense of direction from CEO, all they do is acquire random companies and just layoff everyone eventually. Depressing company
Production senior officer
1. Many senior are there to guide and train you through 2. Colleagues working like big family
1. Salary range is lower compared to market; Yearly increment is fixed rate if there is no jump rank 2. Carrier path promotion is slow 3. Very seldom organize team building activities for the employee 4. 10th year service awards being canceled
Npi engineer
Understand the workflows, standards, and challenges specific to the semiconductor industry. Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including production engineers, technicians, and operator, which helps improve teamwork and communication skills.
Not much career growth opportunities. Most of the time just follow instruction from Japan counterpart.
Engineer
New office, expanding and hiring in India
Too many: 1. No flexibility, partiality and unfair practices across levels 2. No recognition 3. No promotions 4. No increments 5. Below market comp & benefits 6. Poor benefits with no support to male employees 7. Forced work from office else termination punishment 8. Employee unfriendly policies 9. Worst HR team 10. Top Management is partial only to employees who give personal favors to them 11. Years of work, productivity, and loyalty is laughed at without any rewards. Unfair rewards given to under performers 12. No employee career advancement support / programs 13. Many many more… If you are looking for a career, stay away from Renesas.
Product and test engineer
Friendly colleagues ... Stable environment so far... Ethical and professional people As long as follow the procedure and rules it goes well
Pathetic management .... Office politics .... KPI is not that important you achieve or not achieve your big boss have the final say.. Rigid working environment and non flexible working time Less importance to work -life balance ....
Principal analog engineer
Flexibility with the home office situation. Also allowing to work from abroad is a very good benefit.
After Renesas acquired Dialog, budget was greatly reduced.
The benefits aren't bad, but they're not worth the lack of stability.
Constant changes in higher management have created a lack of stability. There's a lot of talk about scaling, yet the company continues to hire more upper management while letting go of the technical team. Higher management seems focused only on the numbers, without understanding the effort and manpower required to develop a product. They don't take the time to learn about the products and often assume all products are the same level of complexity—when in reality, that’s far from true.
Analog ic designer
Good work load balance frindly envirmonet
slow dynamics, no public transport accesible
Good place to learn about semiconductor
Not much on the work flexibility
Applications engineer intern
Very friendly work environment, good pay, flexible work (WFH or office)
Departments are siloed, not a lot of interaction between departments
In going same to an average market
fix time and pressure working style
System engineer
Technical teams are extremely good
Management is clueless and no job security
Sr cybersecurity engineer
Good technology, good engineers, lots of diversity in customers and projects.
Terrible management - no planning, no coordinating, inconsistency. Driven by culture clash between Japan and US: Japan focused on technology not customers, management fighting and lack of respect between US and Japan causes lack of clarify and focus.
Sr. electrical engineer
Nice People, Good benefits, Work life balanced
A little bit lower salary
Software developer
Decent pay and benefits. Bearable workload.
Uncertain future, lack of income, tight budgets, no team-building events, no pay increases, no possibility to move up the ladder.
Product engineer
Flexible at finest Healthy office environment
Jack of all trades, master of none
Senior analog design engineer
Great place to work on RF
Work life not balanced in the team
Specialist, software
What I experienced at Renesas was that it treats people truly with respect, even in very difficult situation, despite of age, race etc. Also, I experienced that people are more important than keeping the profits over 10% ( as in US companies ).
For some people it was difficult to work with Japanese or French teams because of the language. For many it was unpleasant to work with UK teams because of their bureaucratic attitude and people's arrogance & ignoring attitude towards "the other".
Design verification engineer
Best Efficient Supportive Good Pay Good Team
very Small Team initially more meetings very supportive encourages good mentorship
Business systems analyst
Vibrant international culture with flexible working model
Fixed with some old set of architecture.
Clear process, OT is allowed.
Low compensation, repeated work, low competitive environment
Project manager
The best reason to work here is the dynamic and collaborative work environment that fosters personal growth and innovation.
One potential downside of working here is the limited opportunities for career advancement or professional development compared to some other workplaces.
Associate engineer
Exposure on Cutting edge technology
I dont see any cons here
Applications engineering intern
Good work life balance. Enjoyable and compelling work.
Discussions of politics are frequent and theres a very particular ideology given by the Palm Bay location. If you aren't conservative you will probably not feel that comfortable.
Global hr business partner
I like the people I work with. Remote work. Fair compensation.
Everyone is leaving. Company struggles to think globally.
