Pluspunten

Lots of highly-competent and experienced engineers, cutting-edge ASIC technology, acceptable benefits and compensation. Senior management (VP and above) on the technical side really know their stuff. If you can cut through the politics and some big egos to find your niche, you can really do quite well.

Minpunten

Inter-office politics really kill employee enthusiasm. Two sites in particular are constantly fighting for supremacy (including promotions, technical responsibilities, and general recognition), and the other sites are simply along for the ride. Compensation is merely acceptable, not great. Recent trend is to add managers, rather than engineers. Management below VP level on technical side is really hit or miss. Engineers with too-specific a skill set can get stuck in a rut.

Pluspunten

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Minpunten

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
