Pros

Location in the heart of San Jose. Decent starting point for new grads.

Cons

If you are looking for a high commission sales job, this is not for you. You can only make real money when the cyclical market is in an upswing (market shortages). Also keep in mind during Covid there was the biggest market shortage in history, which we are likely to never see again for a LONG time. All of the good accounts in Silicon Valley are taken and you will have no real chance to even talk with them.
