Pros

Leader in field; technology driven. Few, if no other company, has the technology that drives the semiconductor capital equipment industry, and this keeps the work exciting.

Cons

Mature industry with no potential for massive growth. You'd have to be lucky enough to work in a good product business group to be part of the excitement. Too many ups and downs -- layoffs are common.
