Pros

they have decent benefits, does not require physical labor, semi-flexible hours. As "secure" as a job in the semiconductor industry could be. Isn't too difficult, slow paced environment.

Cons

paycuts, raise freezes, "hiring freezes". They cut existing employees pay due to "budget requirements" and implemented a so called "hiring freeze" . Yet there are new employees and interns joining microchip, who are unaffected by the paycuts. So 2+year experienced employees are making about $4000 less than new college grads. this sort of "soft firing" will cause there to be a gap between experienced employees, and new college grads.
