Pros

Great company. Not very bureaucratic. Great exposure. Good salary. Traveling.

Cons

Too bad it got acquired by Avago and I heard it's doing pretty well on the stock market but the 'new' company keeps its purse very tight. The salaries are not the same as they were before and they massively downsized also
