Pros

Competitive compensation. Nice campus. Reasonable work/life balance. Friendly and accommodating department management. Civilized work environment. Better software opportunities than ASIC/FPGA.

Cons

The ASIC department and projects have been scaled down. Company is very conscious about ASIC development costs and hesitant to make the investment. Hopefully there will be new projects in the future but as of now, there is more emphasis on merchant silicon. Software prospects should be better.

Pros

Bonus plan during the boom times were phenomenal. Time off and work life balance were reasonable. Upper management had visionary plans

Cons

Bonuses were cut back when they realize they were very generous. Visionary plans didn't quite work out (Foundry acquisition). Management culture expected some deep technical knowledge even from staff in non-technical positions.
