I was the first college hire on my logic design team in 10 years.
Pros: Friendly people, interesting work, good benefits, networking opportunities. Morale improving. So is culture and experience with training new hires.
Cons: Organization restructuring and poor business performance leading to layoffs and poor morale, causing people to quit, made people around me too overwhelmed to help me get me onboarded. It had been so long since they'd last had a fresh college hire that they didn't know how to train me, which made some things tedious and some things stressful. Talking to my manager didn't help, though the same business problems that created the problem in the first place might have tied his hands on several of the issues I tried to address with him.
