Pros

1) Leading edge technology. 2) Competitive environment. 3) Decent pay and benefits, although neither are exceptional. 4) Working in Austin, Tx

Cons

1) Poor financial performance means few opportunities for bonuses or profit sharing. 2) Company is degenerating into management "islands". Collaboration is discouraged by middle managers that are more keen on empire building. 3) Senior leadership lacks focus. Re-Orgs and new initiatives seem to occur monthly. 4) Job titles are completely out of sync with larger semiconductor industry. 5) Poor IT and administrative support
