Pros

Working at home is an option for many

Cons

The review process is a joke. The common phrase around the building is "the harder you work, the harder they kick you in the nuts." There are chances to grow within the organization, but first dibs go towards the friendly people that spend more time chumming it up with their boss than people that do the actual work. Things aren't as horrible as they were during startup, but they will never be as good as the more popular companies such as Intel or AMD. But I guess it's better than working for TSMC, because they only yell at you half the time.
