Pros
Xilinx still has many exceptionally talented people working here (for now). The work ethic and integrity of most individual contributors is exceptional despite the ridiculous burden of work placed upon them due to layoffs.
Cons
The apparent greed and averous of the executive management is disgusting. They have shown monumental short sightedness in most of their recent business decisions. They have been completely reactionary to the competition and have been outmaneuvered at every point since taking over in '08. Xilinx presently has over 30 VPs or higher and more than 180 Directors or higher showing that the ratio of Senior Management to individual contributors is skewed to a nonsensical extreme. Xilinx is acting like a start up in asking/pushing employees to put in very long hours to make up for the reduction in staff after two sizable layoffs. This might be reasonable if employees believed management had some intelligent plan for the future but no such plan has been communicated. There is little prospect of reward for the extra effort being demanded. When the economy improves I predict a mass exodus from Xilinx US, and Europe. This is probably what Moshe is wanting so he can move more jobs to India and Singapore.
