Pros

Co- Workers are great!!!! Love the people I work with. The company pays better than average. There are opportunities to move around and learn different skills.

Cons

Be careful to not low ball yourself just to get your foot in the door. Once they have you in the door it is very difficult to get promotions with pay increases. The good old boy practices are in full swing and if your not in the club don't expect very much. Pay increase are very little to nothing no matter how much you work or what you do.

Pros

Really interesting, technically complex problems, good work-life balance, good benefits, great team, standard big company culture, you can excel, grow and be promoted if you want to work hard, or you can sit by and coast at your level if that's more your style... both can be acceptable

Cons

Cyclical semiconductor industry, difficult to work with customers and teammates overseas with incomplete problem statements or fuzzy project objectives,
