Pros

Xilinx pays extremely well and has great benefits

Cons

The mantra of do more with less eventually becomes unsustainable. The management team is filled with a bunch of brilliant engineers that are horrible managers and lack leadership ability. People show up to work -- depressed to be there, going through the motions only because they don't know how to get out. The passion for technology and innovation has slowly faded in the eyes of the masses. The most talented people have already left because they realize their career will be hampered by staying at Xilinx.
