Pros
Best in their field at attracting amazing talent and generating new technologies. Willing to spend money to "win" in many ways and everyone seems committed to a top quality product. Despite this, work/life balance is pretty good for semiconductor. Supporting systems like IT, MCAD, Oracle/SAP, etc don't have many issues.
Cons
Work environment sometimes difficult as some folks were very political. Lots of silo-ing between teams and divisions. HR extremely slow to respond to staff changes of a big enough magnitude, and outright chooses to not compete with larger companies on a salary basis. Some great managers, but others that simply have no grasp of time and budget requirements to deliver a certain outcome.
