Pros

The engineers' quality and sense of semiconductor area are very strong and most engineers are proactive and willing to learn new things. It is very comfortable to be a manager or technical leader to lead the project.

Cons

The job loading and stress are very high for a manager level to handle a project. The endless job assignments are always coming to your desk, no matter day or night. There is very few time to consider other things, such as family, friends and social relationship.
