Pros

Interesting, stimulating work, great peers.

Cons

When the new CEO took over, he destroyed the culture, instituted annual (for the two years he's been there) layoffs, generated mistrust and loathing among the staff, and developed a reputation for not listening to those in the trenches who have done the work before. Xilinx used to be a wonderful place to work; now it's a place people want to leave.
