Pros

A capable group, doing custom CPUs and large scale server chips. Cutting edge work, interested employees, better than average local wages

Cons

Destroyed entire group, going into second round of layoffs which will leave < 10% of prior employees. Poor management planning for the group, all of our tech will be shelved and die.

Pros

Working with some of the most talented people in the industry raises the bar and challenges you to be the best you can be. So much to learn working here. Salaries are generally competitive (but changing). Depending on your manager, you can have flexibility in your work hours. On-site health care is convenient and high quality.

Cons

Benefits shrinking rapidly — no more accrued vacation time. Also, with repeated layoffs and understaffed departments, it’s near Impossible to find a time “convenient to the business” to take any time off. Headcount is cut in half in some areas while workload only grows, and there is no concern for employee welfare and how to resolve tired over-worked employees having unrealistic workload to manage. New merit review system removes manager ability to individually reward high performers (it is all decided by compensation team). High performers are given minuscule salary increases below cost of living increase; how does this motivate anyone? No end in sight to mountains of work growing with no plans to add resources, only more reductions.
