Pros

- Chance to work with many experienced, talented colleagues and gain industry knowledge quickly - Most people you work with day-in, day-out are very nice people - Opportunity to see a large-scale ramp (hundreds of new tool installs, 14nm tech ramp) - Since organization is new and fluid, large opportunity to contribute and improve - Great opportunity to learn what NOT to do when trying to run a successful company - Have heard company is a lot better than it was a few years ago so may be slowly improving

Cons

- New college graduates severely underpaid, practically no bonus or raise (losing to inflation) - Performance review is a joke, management gives no advice on how to improve and is unaware of your contributions to the team - No structured training plan in place for new hires, you are just thrown in and expected to learn from others - Most engineers seem overworked with little work-life balance. Plenty of complaints about stress, unrealistic expectations from management, having to answer to incompetent individuals. Experienced individuals are often too busy to help train new ones - Lack of communication between management and employees. Major changes are implemented and can take you by surprise

Pros

You get to say you make computer chips for a living... And interact with big customers and people of various backgrounds...

Cons

In my first year I literally did the work of 3 people (they left) and was told during the performance review that I was a bad employee while receiving no salary increase. So, I started to come to work an hour late frequently and played computer games. I was then told that I was being considered for a promotion! But, at that point I had enough of the place and quit because all my motivation was gone.
