Pros

Really interesting work and great opportunity to progress technically. Great people. Some great leaders and mentors (I was blessed) who I'll always be grateful for. Learned a crap tonne.

Cons

Can be high stress come tapeout time, but I get the impression it's better than the industry norm. Salary was sadly low, at least when I was there. I regretted not pushing harder for more. So that's partly on me. Don't undervalue yourself in the offer/negotiation.

Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
