Pros

Love the Austin Area Some very smart people to work with In 2 duopolies (x86 + PC graphics) should yield lots of opportunities

Cons

Management by be-rating is common (the beatings will continue until morale improves) Failed to be credible 2nd source to Intel in x86. Why would being a 2nd source in ARM help ? Challenges with process and yields renders many plans moot

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.
