-Flat hierarchy for such a large company in 2008
-Paid back paycuts very soon after bottom of US recession
-Varied projects to work on
-50% engineering, 50% people-facing technical sales
-Competitive pay
-Co workers actually know what they're doing
Cons
-Located in San Jose, CA which is really boring
-I hear it's not such a great place to work anymore, much more political
Well managed from a financial perspective. Solidly profitable and stable. Great opportunities to expand beyond your immediate role to influence other areas of the company.
Cons
A bit too internally focussed on being different. More of a follower in the semiconductor industry than an innovator or leader.
