Pros

Number one in semi tool industry. R&D oriented. Cutting-edge technologies. Good pay and OK benifits. Encourage employee grow.

Cons

Rich soil for politics. In many cases HR is only working for management to threaten employees, through "written warning" etc., who have different oppions. Some massive lay-offs for no clear reason. Too many directors/Sr directors.

Pros

You could achieve work life balance if your immediate manager would allow it. Could pay well if your manager fights for you.

Cons

Senior management really wants to save their own job. Wasted millions of $ by switching CAD SW and ERP systems.
