Xilinx Reviews in Dublin, Ireland Area

Pros
Great compensation package and flexible working arrangements. Xilinx typically pay more than comparable companies (perhaps without realising it). Workers generally are supported in working from home and Xilinx has many remote workers. Many office based workers will typically work from home one day per week.
Cons
The company is driven by politics and fueled by anxiety. The company puts great energy and effort into a show of care for employees through various performance management systems, employee surveys and improvement initiatives. The reality is that employees feel under constant severe scrutiny, and rightly because they are under that scrutiny. Management will be swift in cutting, it's a culture of shoot first and ask questions later.
Advice to Senior Management
The world is moving towards inspirational leadership, respect for human dignity, openness and honesty, you need to get with the program.
