Pros

- Good individual contributor peers - Stable job once you prove yourself and have right friends - Pride in fighting against big bad Intel

Cons

- Management style breeds psychophancy, and most managers tend to rest on past laurels - Lip service paid to employee feedback on how to improve the company - Management is usually in firefighting/reactive mode, giving very little thought to long term development (company's as well as employee's) - Managers' reviews hardly involve any feedback from employees

A once enjoyable place to work that has since degenerated into kingdom building and political backstabbing.

Pros

Competitive salaries for the industry Excellent new campus in southwest Austin Leading edge technology and design methodologies Fast paced work environment

Cons

Few prospects for career growth. None beyond director level. Nonexistent merit raises in several years but apparently plenty of money to hire new VP's Corporate politics play a role in almost every decision.
