Business Outlook

Pros

Expectation is to take on more work with less pay - putting this as pro as I suppose some could see it as a learning opportunity

Cons

Altera brought over various ex-AMD/Xilinx and Marvell folks in executive to VP management levels; also no Altera equity granted to employees
