Pros

You get to work with particle accelerators filled with exotic chemicals that shoot ion beams into a single crystal of pure silicon sitting on an electrostatic chuck being neutralized by a plasma flood gun to make computer chips.

It is the most sci-fi job you will ever have, and it's awesome.

Cons

There are good teams who will train you and be patient, and there are bad teams who won't train you and play politics. The company training is good in some teams and nonexistent in others.
