Pros

Some great people working at Xilinx, especially those who have been there a long time. The work-life balance is reasonable with managers not overly burdening staff. The salaries are average.

Cons

The company is currently in the process of moving most of its jobs to lower cost economies in Asia. The spectre of layoffs is real and a sense of impending doom hangs over every employee in North America and Europe. It is a dark environment with much distrust, fear and anger.
