Pros

- Salary is relatively high for fresh graduates, but this is because they have been taking grants from the government.

Cons

- Favoritism runs rampant in this company. If the managers do not like you, you are basically treated as second class citizens. - All the opportunities are given to manager's favorite children. - Office politics are everywhere throughout this company. - Incompetent people are promoted as they are manager pleasers, when in reality they cannot do anything. I would dare say that even some fresh graduates are better than these people. - Upper-level management is useless as well, all the hiring is based on nepotism. A lot of upper management are well known garbage from team blue company, but they have close connections with upper management here. - Upper-level management heavily favors certain departments, other departments are third rate engineers to them. And among those favored departments, there are also a handful of people which upper management especially take a liking to. Easier to get in this circle if you are a people pleaser or you have good looks. - A lot of projects here brings no value to the industry. Things are simply done to meet the impossibly short deadline, so the quality produced is subpar, near unusable. - People from some departments do not need to take accountability for their mistakes, as they are favored by upper management.

Pros

You will get to work on actual logic design tasks like writing assertion checks, testbenches and lint error checking. The senior engineers are highly knowledgeable and willing to guide you through complex design concepts.

Cons

As an ordinary university student, it can feel quite overwhelming in the first few weeks as you try to grasp the proprietary architecture and advanced workflows.
