- Global impact across much of computing from mobile, TVs, automotive, microcontrollers and soon servers and IoT - Opportunities to travel and work with a massive distribution of customers across nearly all aspects of computing - Large opportunities to progress for those willing to work hard, but also support for those who wish to continue to perform well at their current positions - Great company culture around employee development and co-work to success. - Excellent work life balance especially sabbatical (4-week block of extra holiday every 4 years of service)

Cons

- A few growing pains due to recent growth - With increasing customers and commitments there is less time for spontaneous creativity (i.e. innovation)
