Pros

Good place to start your career fresh out of college. You will be thrown into the deep well of real semiconductor industry and it would be up to you to use every chance to learn new things. Starting salary are always at par or above market rate.

Cons

Lack of mentorship, guidance especially for new college grads. Lots of micromanagement from mid level managers who take the credit for your work. Poor co-ordination and communication among cross-functional teams leading to wastage of time in long email chains.
