Pros

They pay above average base salary for many positions. Baseline benefits are very competitive. If you really want to live south of the river in Austin, they are very convenient.

Cons

In a world of flattening organizations, they are opting for increasing levels of hierarchy and power distance. Not much of a future...they could not successfully leverage being the only second source for x86 processors, now they are stuck being an incumbent in a mature/declining industry with none of the perks that Intel has. Completely unreliable bonuses (goes with completely unreliable profits). Stock that used to be marginally cyclical but is probably stuck in the tank, that's not a perk, either.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
