Pros

Salaries are above average for Austin. Benefits packages are generous and the healthcare is great. Great campus in Southwest Austin. Great people who really believe in the company.

Cons

Continuing problems with the launch of new chips. Management in flux (new CEO replacing all senior management). Layoff in 2011 handled poorly. Too little too late with new chips. Top heavy company, the ratio of VPs and Directors to actual workers way off.

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.
