Pros

Facilities are good for employees. Lunch, Gym etc

Cons

The management here really sucks. They think employees are their slaves. They treat employees harshly with their behavior. Lots of internal politics inside India center. I would like to share some points on how they manage the center - 1) 20-25 employees and space rented for 60-70 peoples with and monthly rent of around 8 lakhs excluding electricity and other expenses. 2) 4 office help boys for 20-25 employees. One of them is relative of senior management. 3) For employees there is strict office time - 10:15 am. But the management comes at around 11:30 and leaves by 5 pm. Every employees knows what he manages and his caliber. The guy doesn't even speak proper English and one will die reading some of his emails. 4) I request the HR leadership team to do survey by taking feedback of the employees. So that they can have a clear idea of what monopoly is going on here. 5) None of the employees are satisfied with the things going here in India center. Most of them belong from the place itself so that makes them to stay here.

Pros

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.

Cons

I have nothing to criticize

Pros

- 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.

Cons

- 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.
