      Pros

      When Xilinx gets a better senior management team, maybe they will climb out of the hole that they are in today.

      Cons

      The current senior management is terrible. Where is Wim and Bernie when you need them? 2009, 2010 was like a huge experiment to Moshe and his cronies. We were kicking Altera's tail until they current management took over.

      Pros

      Latest technology. Highly profitable company and comparativley stable employment. Colleagues are usually nice to work with.

      Cons

      Bad employment review process, become worse with new managment. Mismanaged the last few product cycles of past 4-5years and losing market share. Limited opportunity for career growth unless you can talk BS with mid- and upper-level managemtn. Too many senior people not doing anything and executives lack of communication and outsourcoing all new jobs to India and Singapore.

      Pros

      1) Even though Xilinx has successfully improved it's stock price (haha) by letting go many of the longer-term employees, whether they were excellent employees or not, and in important roles or not, there are still many great people who work here. Sharp engineers, helpful peers, a willingness to see the company's products succeed in spite of the incompetent senior management and critically bad morale. 2) Unless you're part of the executive staff, you're not actually forced to listen to Moshe speak in person. He seems to prefer to hide from the "common folk".

      Cons

      With maybe one or two exceptions, the new senior management team are scary-bad, with the scariest and baddest at the top. It’s truly amazing how some people get the jobs that they do... Compassion, morale, open communication, and anything resembling the previous corporate values have flown out the door, and the bottom line is now absolute king - which may not even sound that bad to some people, but the problem is these clowns are demonstrating they have absolutely no clue how to get there. Somehow slashing long-time employees, and throwing away EVERYTHING that existed before they got here, isn't working. Huh. Go figure. Maybe the stock will finally go up after they've outsourced all of the jobs except for their own to India and Singapore? I'm guessing that's their next move...
