Pros

Good place to start and to learn, a lot of courses (in the past)

Cons

Sometimes too much politics from the management, technically (e.g. measurement equipment/tools/software) is not "top of the world". Used to be better place to work when NXP Semiconductors was still Philips Semiconductors.
