Pros

High potential for growth. Solid engineering staff. Decent benefits package. Sabbatical program means time away from work to recharge your batteries.

Cons

Decision-making is diffused between too many people, which takes too long to make decisions.

It takes too many people to get work done relative to other companies.

Engineering concentrates too much on building microprocessor cores, not microprocessor chips.

Advice to Management

Talk to the employees. Go past senior and 1st line management. Do it anonymously if you can. You might be surprised.
