Pros

Solid training in established semiconductor OEM company provides for strong technical foundations. Large corporation and varied products allow for diverse experiences if want to pivot within the company.

Cons

Bottom of the totem pole and far removed from end-consumers. Culture and benefits of a traditional 50+ year company no longer match up to the FAANG-driven expectation of Silicon Valley.
