Why board a sinking ship?

Pros

Lots of interesting work to do and more than you can ever do in a normal job.

Cons

Employees work incredibly long hours, more than the normal company that says "long hours". Management does not appreciate the employees and expect you to work 24/7 without any sort of recognition. Equity & raises only go to Executives and their favorites. The latest round of layoffs eliminated older and more highly compensated employees so that they could hire cheaper labor.

Pros

Compensation was decent. Can bring dogs to work

Cons

-The company has serious execution issue. Recurring theme is product is late to market, or yield is too low to meet customer's demand, or reliability issue with shipped products. -Upper management lives in their fantasy world, thinking they're all that, when in fact these are a group of rejects from AMD. Turned down the buyout offer at $110/share a few years ago, and now the stock price is 1/2 of that. Guess you can't expect too much from this group of morons -Lots of political infighting and people doing silly things for job security. The hilarious part is that they're fighting for job security in a company that's spiraling downward.
