Pros

Excellent work. One of the very few places in the world you'll get to work on next generation processor architecture using cutting edge technology. Very open and friendly environment and culture. Can change job roles easily to keep learning open and ongoing

Cons

Very negative environment. Company is not doing good financially. You'll see projects getting cancelled. Attrition is high even at executive level. Company road map is constantly changing. It gives an impression that even higher management is not sure where to steer the company. Bonus comes very irregularly.
