Typical medium sized semiconductor company

Pros

Because of the size and timing, new engineers can learn a lot more about semiconductor process and tools than compared to large companies. Engineers can get a lot of hands-on experience here.

Cons

You must be hard working and there is a lot of emphasis on overtime (not really a con but new engineers can sometimes be unprepared for this fact in the semiconductor industry)
