Pros

Smart people in some engineering positions. Good GPU technology. Good ideas on Heterogenous computing. Open standards for Heterogenous Computing. Reasonable compensation.

Cons

Culture rewards over promising - constant sense if you don't say you can deliver you'll be part of the next RIF. Management does not listen when told something is not feasible given available resources. Product delays are common and failure to launch products is causing competitive problems.
