Pros

Good compensation and accessibility to a lot of technical resources with industry-best EDA software and tools.

Cons

Extremely high workload, no time for learning. You'll always be in a get-work-done-at-all-cost mode.

Late nights and frequent weekend work should be expected.

All teams are running lean on resources, so don't expect much collaboration or peer learning within the team, as all would be working on different items.

Advice to Management

Work-life balance should be the norm, not work-life effectiveness as you're currently marketing. Learning and innovation happen only when people have free time in their workdays to sit back, think, and dive deep into things. When a truckload of items is dumped on a team, everyone will be in survival mode, just getting work done and nothing else.
