Pros

Started off as a great employer of embedded engineers in the USA -- getting rarer and rarer to find those jobs these days. Pay and benefits WERE excellent. Co-workers were generally pretty sharp.

Cons

Bonuses / benefits completely destroyed. Went from pretty great to very, very bad. Layoff after layoff. Half of campus gone, people still leaving.
