Altera Corp Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I've worked at Altera for over 15 years. The company has solid financials and products that provide significant stability. You are highly unlikely to be caught in mass layoffs. Management is generally quite professional and the atmosphere in the company is quite friendly. Work hours are not excessive in most teams. That said, Altera's product lines have been weak vs. competitors recently, which has hurt the stock price and limited bonus and salary growth vs. peer companies. Company is likely entering a rough patch and turnover has accelerated due to the issues."

"Although Altera is a great company with a good product, I believe that their business practices can use some tune-up. They allow half-finished projects to be shipped, and do not provide adequate resources to employees. They expect a new hire to get familiar with a 30-year old code that is completely unstructured in a matter of days. The level of help from fellow employees is quite poor, and I believe that management directs the company in the wrong path."
