Pros

1) Fresh grads with strong engineering foundations regarding filter circuits, oscillator circuits, amplifiers and 2 port network knowledge, will excel in this role. 2) Friendly colleagues that always willing to teach/help each other. 3) Opportunity to learn the whole NPI process from schematic & layout design till creating prototypes and ended with ensuring getting good yields from manufacturing lines. 4) ESPP plans that allow you to buy MSI share at discount. 5) Flexi time makes engineers felt free and tend to opt of 2nd income (Trading/Insurance/MLM/Patent/Property Agent)

Cons

1) Often employees felt NOT appreciated. 2) Harder to climb up the ranks. 3) Only promote when you're about to leave and usually it's just TOO LATE. 4) Company tends to hire Fresh-Grads in replace of experienced engineers. 5) After a few years might felt the whole process become repetitive and no longer feel the growth in knowledge

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
