Pros

It's one of the highest profile tech companies, due to the fact that there are really only two companies making microprocessors for the whole world. As a result, you get to work with some of the most advanced technologies and designs. The people are all very laid back and great to work with, and will even stop their own work to help you. There is a real sense of community. People don't just go to work and go home to their separate lives, they actually hang out outside of work. Lastly, there is very little inter-departmental politics, in-fighting, and rampant backstabbing, unlike at some other microprocessor company.

Cons

Instability due to the fact your only competitor is a ruthless behemoth.

Pros

Decent pay compared to other semiconductor companies of similar size. There are some good groups to work for in the company and other employees are willing to share knowledge to get the job done. There are opportunities to do different tasks and take on other roles if you want them.

Cons

The company is doing well financially right now. There is a lot of debt and senior management doesn't seem to have ability to chart a course for success in the future. I think the company is just trying to stay alive at the moment.

Pros

Some excellent engineering challenges available. Get to work with some very smart people. Access to some very interesting technologies.

Cons

A company of have's and have-not's. CPU side of company were the have's, everyone else is a have-not. Content to be a "fast follower" rather than a leader outside of a very small core group of competencies. In panic mode trying to figure out how to survive. Constant churn in terms of projects and priorities. Don't compensate all that well. Company is run out of TX/CA so remote sites get the short end of the deal in a lot of the decision making processes.
