Cons

Lack of Formal Onboarding for New Hires – Training can feel insufficient or unstructured, leaving new employees to learn mostly through experience or peer guidance.

Slow Career Progression – Promotions or role movements can take time; growth often depends heavily on tenure and management opportunities.

Bureaucratic / Conservative Culture – Decision-making can be slow due to the structured, old-school corporate culture.

Compensation May Be Below Market (for some roles) – While fair for entry levels, it may not be as competitive compared to tech startups or newer semiconductor firms.

Limited Exposure Depending on Role – Some positions can be very specialized or repetitive, which may limit cross-functional learning.

Change Can Be Gradual – Adapting new technologies or processes may take longer due to large-scale systems and approval layers.
