Pros

World-class DV exposure: Got hands-on experience with industry-standard UVM testbenches and cutting-edge CPU and interconnect verification.

Strong technical mentorship: Worked alongside some of the best DV engineers; received valuable guidance on debugging, coverage closure, and assertion-based verification.

Ownership and learning: Was entrusted with writing testplans, integrating ARM VIPs, and verifying critical safety logic (e.g., FuSa Fault Aggregator).

Cons

Pace can be intense: Fast-moving tapeout schedules mean occasional long hours or pressure to close coverage quickly.

Domain-specific: Project focus can get narrow depending on the team (e.g., mostly CPU-centric without cross-functional exposure unless you seek it).
