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

The olds, working for founder Jerry Sanders was great. Never a dull moment. Gave you enough opportunity to do good work. He expected/demanded a lot, but it was worth it.

Cons

The huge swings from good times to bad times, back to good times, and back, were a real drain on employees. Too much stress. Company culture shifted when the bulk of management shifted to Austin, TX.

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.
