Honestly none, but after giving some thought I would have to say that you do have some good people from whom you get a deserved respect for your hard work Great place for contract job as you get more respect as compared to full time employees

Cons

In experienced Senior management not knowing what is the meaning of thought leader ship and doing lip services for self promotion. No respect for Experience, Talent, Integrity, Accountability & Dedication Too many Directors & VP''s

Pros

Very good people to work with Work life balance Good compensation and benefit

Cons

Frequent lay off No competitive new product

Pros

Good people. Benefits are ok.

Cons

Greedy management. Long working hours due to lack of resources.

Pros

Good place to work with lots of good people; laid back as most places in Austin are. Mature systems in a mature fab and everything is in full production mode. Lots of very intelligent, creative engineering talent here. Everybody there knows their job and do it exceptionally well. CEO did a remarkable job post bankruptcy especially keeping the company profitable.

Cons

Echo what somebody else said about little to no opportunities for growth in management specifically. Every upper level manager has been there for several years making it difficult for anybody to take those positions. Aging work force although not sure if that's a bad thing. Bonuses were an interesting exercise in futility. There didn't seem to be much visibility to what exactly needed to be done to get them. Forced distribution for employee ranking (quarterly and annually), while a common thing for most companies, didn't make much sense for a company that already had an extremely lean work force. They've gutted so many employees that most of the "low performers" were really average performers that just got screwed by the idea that a company has to have 10-15% of the employees be ranked into the lowest performance tier.

Pros

Good people to work with, great campus in Austin.

Cons

Limited in technology applications. There only so much you can do with NOR flash.

Pros

Good people to work with. Not much of red tapes.

Cons

Too many VPs doing who knows what and getting all the credits Too many fires to put off. No promotions or career opportunities. Laying off senior people to hire cheap labor seems to be the trend of the company.

Pros

work atmosphere are good, people are fun.

Cons

no much headroom for your career update.

Pros

A lot of good people work for Spansion There is opportunity for career growth if you can manage to stay at the company A lot of internal promotions

Cons

Lots of lay-offs Males are highly favored in management positions
