Pros

Smart People, work-life balance is great, no micromanaging at the tech level, workload averages out over time, not too bad overall. Pay is good eventually but better at other semi-companies. Very laid-back management as long as you are good at your job. Sagacious financial leadership and an excellent c-suite team, I have complete confidence in them.

Cons

number 1 complaint is a lack of formal technical training, pretty much learn by trial and error, hard work is not as appreciated as it should be (coasting is commonplace because of this), tech levels don't mean anything about skill, its only pay and your likability in most cases. I know of several instances of tech 1's training tech 4's when the tech 4 obviously makes a lot more money. Internal promotions pay much less than an outside hire to the same position.
