Pros

Smart and competent colleagues. Interesting and challenging projects. Open atmosphere with lots of opportunities to make an impact. Abundant compute and license resources for most jobs. Reasonable work/life balance with flexible hours. Good telecommuting infrastructure.

Cons

The company has been struggling financially the last few years. Unpleasant actions such as layoff rounds, salary cuts, and mandatory vacations have occurred at various times. Bonus payouts have been low or non-existent due to poor financial performance. Road map has been unstable with project cancellations as a result.

Pros

They pay above average base salary for many positions. Baseline benefits are very competitive. If you really want to live south of the river in Austin, they are very convenient.

Cons

In a world of flattening organizations, they are opting for increasing levels of hierarchy and power distance. Not much of a future...they could not successfully leverage being the only second source for x86 processors, now they are stuck being an incumbent in a mature/declining industry with none of the perks that Intel has. Completely unreliable bonuses (goes with completely unreliable profits). Stock that used to be marginally cyclical but is probably stuck in the tank, that's not a perk, either.
