Pros: - Some of the smartest folks in the semiconductor industry. - If you want to get your hands dirty with low-level work like computer organization, processors, compilers, and operating systems, and advanced communication protocols like LTE/4G, this is a great place to start. - Great benefits as interns and as full-time employees. - The learning curve is steep. Each intern has a mentor/manager system, and the guidance and training are good. - The company is doing well, with a very positive outlook for the next couple of years.

Cons: Large organization and hence has uneven distribution of good work. Senior engineers tend to do most of the good work and interns complete the housekeeping stuff. At least it felt that way. Software division slightly takes a backseat over hardware division. Pay and bonus are higher for design engineers. Too much work to kill your work-life balance.

Pros: Fun events, a great relocation package.

Cons: Still waiting for return offer after 1-month finishing internship.

Pros: Good work-life balance, competitive pay, San Diego is beautiful, brilliant coworkers, housing and relocation were completely covered, R&D projects are very good, stable job outlook, HR (Campus Team) is by far the best of any company I've ever dealt with, great mentorship, executive speaker series, and they even held an intern hackathon.

Cons: We didn't use agile software development, so there was very little flexibility or change as your project progressed. I had a project that was almost identical to the project that I had done the summer before at a different company. Projects are assigned based on what you have a proven track record of doing, and not what you want to do in the future. Shuttles go in loops around campus and can take 15+ minutes to pick you up if you don't time it right. You could get banned from using the shuttles if you abuse them by taking them to an office that's closer to a mall or food court.
