Pros

Applications gives the opportunity to work with many different people all from different backgrounds. You work with customers directly, indirectly, and also have separate projects to support semiconductors for your team. Definitely a good starting place for introductory engineering, but also you can grow into more experienced applications engineer and work on some more intense projects as you gain experience.

Cons

Applications requires you to balance many different projects and tasks at once. You are never scheduled to do only one thing in the day. You may work with customers, you might be required to go to lab for data collection, you might work on a PCB, but each day can feel different depending on your team.
