Pros

Good benefits, friendly HR people.

Cons

Many of the software people are recycled hardware verification people, and have no idea how to do software. The "software" people I worked with did not understand why a single-threaded program required extensive rewriting to run on a multithreaded processor. Their software tools are atrocious.

Pros

- Takes good care of its employees - High attention on employees benefits, activities and comfort - Lots of mobility opportunities either to other business units or to other countries

Cons

- No excitement. Everything is meant to prevent employees to think and push to follow processes - A company looking towards itself and very little care about customers demands - Complete maze of organization, overuse of acronyms and full of stringent processes
