Pros

Extraordinarily talented engineering staff. Cutting edge technology keeps things very interesting. Peer interactions are amicable and new ideas are well received.

Cons

Nowhere even close the same place it was years ago. "New" management has turned Xilinx culture to a numbers game and too much has been off shored leading to morale issues in all departments. Too much following of a single competitor limits creativity.

Pros

Good work life balance, very respectful colleagues, good team environment

Cons

Now, too many layoffs, clueless upper management with no understanding of FPGAs, product positioning or the market and no vision. You cannot cut your way to growth. Lose this management and start over.
