Business Outlook
Pros
In today's climate, the best reason to work for Xilinx is a salary that pays the rent and the food. Another one is getting expertise in a top field, although, sadly, these days one has a hard time getting exposure to all the important aspects of this technology (and this is why I put it in a 2nd position). Other than that...
Cons
Not having your work recognized; not being able to speak the truth for fear of being reprimanded or worse; having to put up with incompetent mid-managers and directors who don't understand the problems and whose only quality is obedience towards the higher-ups and a bent spine; petty politics.
