Pros

There is lots of freedom as an engineer to propose ideas and work on them. The company is small enough that an individual has the opportunity to have a real impact on the company, but big enough to have a real impact on the industry

Cons

The company is not competing well against Intel, so the bonuses and raises are small. Senior management has no ability to make a successful strategy, or even know how to develop a feasible strategy.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
