Pros

Challenging work, ability to impact the direction of semiconductor design, generous compensation and benefits, talented colleagues. Market focused, driven environment, and able to absorb best practices from across the industry. Products are used in leading edge designs and you will not lack for intellectual stimulation. People are highly qualified and competent.

Cons

You need to be proactive to avoid getting typecast in silos, roles are often assigned based on expediency rather than with a view to developing talent. A focus on short term results takes away from new product development initiatives, although all companies with existing revenue generating products face this dilemma.

Pros

Technical issues being addressed are quite challenging.

Cons

I hit an artificial ceiling in my professional and career growth, caused by acquisition of other companies creating a top heavy organization. No room for advancement unless someone resigned or was laid-off.

Pros

I love working on, and developing, the technology

Cons

Current management mess. To many upper level vice presidents from previous aquisitions. Sales driven, need more research and RnD input.
