Pros

Historically Xilinx is - A Pioneer in the field - FPGA sector has a huge potential - Enormous business and technical growth opportunities

Cons

All that is listed above has kicked the bucket since the new management has come in - Upper management has no clue what they are doing - Xilinx is losing the loyalty established by Wim (at one time it was called the 'retirement company') - Employees have no faith in management - No efforts are made to improve employee confidence which is at an all time low due to crappy HR policies. - Promotion of incompetence and termination of competence is very transparent.... very bad for the future. - Vast differences in competence levels, across geographies. Cause for a multitude of issues.
