Pros

Good location in San Diego Interesting technology in a dynamic industry, which is clearly striving to keep up with Moore's law.

Cons

Highly incompetent, egocentric executive management, with an extremely poor ability to make decisions. They treat employees very badly, burn them out with excessive workloads, impossible schedules. There is a strong blame culture and individuals are not rewarded for good work. No real opportunities for career path, except if you leave the company and come back. No willingness to show an degree of reasonableness. Seems to get worse with time. Reliability of technology is extremely poor from a chipmaker's perspective.
