Pros
  1. Get to work on the latest technology.
  2. Good compensation.
  3. Good knowledge base. You will be working with the team who knows about the IP end to end, if lucky with the original designers.
  4. Food, cafeteria, team outings, nice office building, gym, year-end gifts, etc.
Cons
  1. Work-life balance: there will be tons of work. I guess good compensation comes at the cost of this huge workload.

  2. The learning and exploration are on your own; you can't expect any training or hand-holding. You have to be responsible for your own learning and ramp-up. At times, you'll have to work while ramping up, and you'll have to work extra hours during that time.

  3. Expect to work from day one.

Advice to Management
  1. The team leads should plan the work such that it can be done in proper time, avoiding extra work.
  2. Improvement of ramp-up sessions for new joiners, especially new college grads.
  3. Improve on work-life balance.
