Pros

stable, profitable semiconductor company with a broad product base in digital and analog chips.

Cons

Pays below market rates across the board. Less innovative in many ways - often buy a company, improve its operations and "milk" it, then do it over again. They trap acquired company employees with much lower base-pay and don't make up for the difference except through bonuses. Bonuses only get you back to what you were making before the aquisition - their bonus plan is in no way an incentive.
