Pros

Texas enjoys a lower cost of living and there are no state taxes. Consequently you save more and enjoy a better quality of family life

Cons

Classic old-age politics exist. Management and senior management are detached from technology changes. Schedule pressures are rampant with bad decisions being made to get product out on schedule with possible silicon failure. Severe understaffing within projects and only new-grads being hired which stresses the senior staff even more. No value for technical inputs from senior technical folks, rather ill-informed partially knowledgeable managers are being tapped from above for feedback. Useless focus on ridiculous cost-savings within the technical staff when so much is blown up on management travel that achieves nothing of value. No career growth path and most engineers have resigned to the fact of being assembly line workers in a high-tech industry.

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
