Pros

Access to leading edge technology. The work atmosphere is generally fairly civil and relaxed. You also get to say you're taking a part in taking on the 800lb gorilla known as Intel.

Cons

Stiff competition and the tendency to bleed cash constantly. The stress level can get high when the company is losing money which is often which leads to low moral.

Pros

Employees enjoy great exposure and relatively easy access to many different aspects of technical issues, which can be very beneficial for a person's professional growth and broadening knowledge portfolio. The company is generally supportive of employees' participation in conferences, trade groups and other professional activities. Various award programs exist that recognize employee contribution on a regular basis. Information sharing is generally promoted.

Cons

The company may be unintentionally discouraging employees to keep further developing domain expertise. Instead, it is trying to emphasize 'leadership' ability, by which it primarily looks for project management type of activities in the employee. Often times, people who pay attention and time to get along with others but with quite limited contribution or technical capability may advance better than those who just maintain normal professional relationship but with stronger technical ability.

Pros

Technology company pushing the frontiers and fighting the Goliath, to enable customer with a Choice. This is a company with very smart people. There is good career opportunities to grow both in the technical ladder and management ladder. The compensation and benefits match that off the industry. Even with all the drastic changes happening, this is still a very good engineering company to work for.

Cons

Cut-throat industry competitor, where a mis-step could cause mayhem. With recent continuation of lay-off's employee morale seems to be off-colour.
