Still Toxic After all These Years - Senior Staff Engineer Xilinx Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits/compensation, cool technology, good location

Cons

"Do more with Less" is status quo. Competitive environment fosters distrust. The "Old Boy" network is very much in play, and it's not what you know it's who's on your side. Still moving entire operations offshore (India mainly), meaning whole teams getting axed for larger, cheaper teams in India. You can NOT trust management, because they don't trust you.
