Business Outlook
Pros
Xilinx is a very healthy company with excellent products. As an employee, the benefits in terms of bonus and stock plans have been welcome of late when other companies are having pay cuts and paying no bonus out. There is still some room for innovation despite tighter financial controls of late.
Cons
The company is becoming very mature in outlook and may not be as exciting as it once was for people with career growth in mind. Due to recent lay-offs and a more draconian performance management system, it would seem there is increasing time spent doing CYAs rather than actual managing/working.
