Pros
1 The management team is really excellent navigating through the 2008 and all downturns. It is even harder for such a company to grow in the difficult years along with all the big and small but always-continuing layoffs in the semiconductor industry. 2 The amazing workplace. What I'm going to say sounds cliche but here it is what it is actually. There is no office politics or whatsoever. People here are all professionals and most engineers are very experienced, it is really a place you can get yourself updated with the latest skills and technology. 3 The company culture. The company is having substantial growth year by year, and we always have traditional end-of-month birthday get-together and year-end party while that was lost in many companies during the crisis or the following cut down, let alone the flexibility of working from home now and then. 4 Since it's a contracting company and outstanding long term relationships with the big companies, abundant opportunities to try your skills in different technical environment and settings. Actually, it's also a great opportunity to learn from all these diversified cultures and solutions. 5 Compensation is really competitive, and above industry average.
Cons
To adjust to different assignment in different companies, you have to learn fast and basically you have to give your 120%, sometimes. It's challenging but it never gets boring either. This is a place for experienced people.
