Pros

Smart, passionate people, interesting problems, great technology, a green, responsible company, and an enthusiastic CEO.

I learned a great deal about what it takes to ship a competitive, complex microprocessor.

Cons

With a large software base, my area was understandably resistant to change. Many thousands of lines of Perl have a way of chipping away at the soul. After getting tired of my department, it took time to get gears turning to move to a new department, before I ultimately decided to move on to other challenges. A circumscribed job role limits the number of technologies one is exposed to. I enjoy wearing many hats, and was only able to wear a few.
