Pros

Unlike other processor design company(ies), there is an opportunity to work in a small set of related areas. The tendency to get boxed-in is less probable here -- if there is initiative from the employee. And good work is certainly recognized.

Cons

The management has started a new focus on business objectives with the whole "Vision" thing. But it is unclear how far they will be able to gain against Intel. Yes -- simplifying choices, and designing consumer oriented products is certainly a +ve sign. But your competitor can easily do the same thing if they have a better product.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
