Process
Referred by an employee, I directly went onsite and met with a couple of software and hardware engineers. I was asked questions such as how to reverse a linked list, etc. There were no tricky questions. The people were very nice there. It took a couple of days to hear back from them. I went through some negotiation about options and base. Overall, it was a good experience.

A learning experience from big corporate companies
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
May 29, 2013
Pros: There are incredibly talented people that work day and night for this company—bar none the best and brightest in the world. I've learned so much about how things work in a big corporate office setting that I'll take with me throughout my career. Also, the intramural sports leagues seem like fun, and the on-site gym is kept very well!
Cons: Not much, really. I would say that I, as well as many other former employees, felt the squeeze of the new CEO. The cost-cutting was absolutely hurting our morale, not just in the department but the whole company.
Then the eventual rounds of annual layoffs occurred. Maybe it's more fun to work in the consumer products side than the workstation/professional side.

Pros: Good quality of people and work. Time flexibility at work is the best thing they offer. The company has its head office in California, but nowadays, every decision is taken in Austin.
Cons: The company is not making a profit as the projects they are working on are not good. They should motivate employees and accept new, innovative ideas.
