Pros

Job security: once you are in, you are in. It's nearly impossible to get fired. If you do a good job, you can rest easy at night.

Work in an exciting field. Semiconductor-related roles are only going to get more lucrative and contested.

Great place to grow a career. Work-life balance is good, meaning you are encouraged to work at your own pace and be involved in as many projects as you want.

The new CEO is breathing new life into the company, hopefully for the better.

Cons

Management overhead. So many orgs and managers; it was difficult to see where you are in the scheme of things. There always seemed to be another team that did the same thing as your current team, just slightly different. Management decisions are also not transparent. Things just change and happen with little reason.

Pay has not caught up with demand for talent. Microsoft, Apple, etc., have been snatching up talent, offering better pay and rewards. They are making changes, but it should have been done long ago.
