Pros

Great benefits, good salary, working from home, although they may change their policy post-COVID. My teammates are amazing. Very diverse and inclusive.

Cons

24/7 fab job, which means you will be on-call. I have been fortunate to have a great boss. If you don't get a good one, then you are screwed because the job itself is not very interesting.

As a PhD, I'd have preferred to do more R&D work, but the processes are defined and set by others, in some cases many years ago, so you don't get to do much development. There is a lot of data analysis work involved.

Did I tell you about the on-calls?
