Pros

Good salary, I got lured to come here from a IP competitor. The bump in salary was around $20K, who would refuse this. God only knows how much I regret this move.

Cons

I am working on the Foundry side of the house. It is absolute mad house, you have the old foundry style management - screaming in meetings, ask for slides at 8:00 PM for the next day 9:00 AM.

Pros

EXCELLENT compensation and bonus program. Very competitive Benefits and generous PTO accrual for employees.

Cons

Very clickish. Liked to hire overqualified people who hit the ground running. Afterwards, boredom set in as growth was a bit limited.
