Great engineering but no way forward.

Pros

Silicon design process is engineered very well. Lots of good engineers to work with, with lots of experience in many areas.

Cons

Benefits have not kept up with other top end companies, but that is because there just isn't any money. The blather from top executives never really connected with the minions. Career guidance was not great, and cronyism was still present.

Nice enough people, disorganized mess of a company

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and decent salary. God help you if you get hired at the wrong salary or level though - nearly impossible to get a promotion, let alone raised a couple of levels. No real rewards for success other than staying on your boss's good side.

Cons

No real business processes or infrastructure. No career path. The company is basically run on personality. Who is loudest, who sounds the most convincing in a meeting. Timelines and plans are thrown out the window every time someone yells louder or someone leaves and someone new comes in. No wonder the company is struggling.
