Xilinx – “Where is the leadship?”

Pros

Flexible hours and will support time-off when needed
Work with leading edge technology
Accessiblity to technical documents and training material
Decent HR support infrastructure for employee needs

Cons

Xilinx has lost its way over the last few years. Where are the values that built this company? Instead of accountability, there is finger pointing. Job security is the number one focus of most employees and this is not an environment that promotes teamwork. There are a lot of extremely smart people at this company, but there appears to be a void in leadership. A lack of trust in management is a consistent theme I get when I communicate with others in the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Put the focus back into the people that built this company. Cost-cutting can be expected, but there needs to be better communication and explanation for the directions that the company is taking.
