Pros

very challenge tasks from variety of projects. The engineer also has a of freedoms to plan and exercise the priorities unless there is conflict on project management. Principal engineers are also expect to have mentor-ship to junior engineers, at the same time, junior engineers can help principal engineers to carry out some works,

Cons

in general, the workload is high, and also expected to work overtime, or work at home for extra hours. the responsibility is critical so that the work pressures is high as well.

Cons

1: Be prepared to work like a dog with long hours and weekends. 2: Work on 2-3 projects simultaneously. 3: As is common to all semi industry, lots of work are tedious and purely "mechanic", not very intellectual. 4: Compensation & benefits are decreasing fast year by year. It was good a few years ago, but now it is only about average, and is still dropping every year. 5: High peer pressure, and mean, "blood-suckingr" boss. 6: Stay away from any customer-facing role. The company is very humble to the customers.
