      Pros

      For *some people there is great experience. Only some. All the best work is in San Jose.

      Cons

      Highly political and partisan environment with lots of cliques Poorly controlled focal reviews leading to seemingly random pay rises/freezes Very San Jose centric. Remote sites are not respected equally. Constant re-orgs. You don't know if you'll have a job tomorrow. Do not stay here if you are not doing work that you feel will further your career, or unless you've made your bones somewhere else and looking for managerial work. I know SEVERAL very smart people who worked 60+ hour weeks doing dross work for years only to be hung out to dry by Xilinx. Some lost their career completely.

      Pros

      Great compensation package and flexible working arrangements. Xilinx typically pay more than comparable companies (perhaps without realising it). Workers generally are supported in working from home and Xilinx has many remote workers. Many office based workers will typically work from home one day per week.

      Cons

      The company is driven by politics and fueled by anxiety. The company puts great energy and effort into a show of care for employees through various performance management systems, employee surveys and improvement initiatives. The reality is that employees feel under constant severe scrutiny, and rightly because they are under that scrutiny. Management will be swift in cutting, it's a culture of shoot first and ask questions later.

      Pros

      not much, benefits are reasonable and the lunchtime classes in the on site gym are good. lots of parking available!

      Cons

      The senior management. They have changed to company to one where people are no longer respected. Moshe believes he is above the rest of us, quarterly addresses are no longer directed to employees, but are videos of his presentations to "senior leaders" and the rest of us are allowed to look in the window
