Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Working with smart experienced people.

Cons

The new profit-is-everything mantra does not seem like it will be a positive for engineers. It is still very early on after acquisition by Avago, so we'll have to see how it plays out. Right now it seems like it will only be great for shareholders. Long work hours. Always in fire-fighting mode, so there isn't any time to learn new skills or even get to lower-priority nice-to-have tasks. There are not many young engineers, hiring is skewed toward more experienced engineers. Lack of new ideas coming into the company.
