It's a political hell hole.... stay away! - Senior Manager Xilinx Employee Review

Pros

The products are good and the location is good... BUT that's about it.

Cons

Once-upon-a-time a "Fortune 100-Best Places to Work" company and loved to say it was a place where people were valued... BUT no more!! Wholesale VP changeover, new CEO, chronic restructuring, destruction of culture and values, quiet "firings" to cut heads in a mad effort to impact the balance sheet and look good to the Board. Your corporate survival here has nothing to do with your performance. The "change agents" are onboard and ready to slash anyone without a second thought. Many good, loyal employees have gotten the boot. Everyone is looking over their shoulder... stressed out and miserable.
