Pros

It’s in growing area of semiconductor technology

Cons

Toxic work culture created by management, bad behavior of managers, culture of threat and retaliation, employees given PIP without valid performance reason but to cut the bonus and salary so that managers can get their bonuses. Incompetent managers get promotion; managers have no clue about customer requirements. HR non-existent as toxic and threat work culture complaints not addressed. Think many times before joining this company, life will be stressful not because of work but company work culture.

Pros

Opportunities to work with skilled and competent engineers. Competitive compensation and benefits.

Cons

Expect to work most nights and weekends. Upper management is extremely sensitive to customer suggestions and will rapidly change priorities. Middle managers and ground level process engineers struggle to meet constantly changing priorities and unreasonable customer requests promoted by account teams. I rarely met anyone with more than 5 years at the company and the reasons became evident quickly. Tools are over dedicated to multiple projects which are subjected to constant hardware adjustments. This makes it exceedingly difficult to conduct meaningful DOE for process development with such dynamic and dirty hardware. Fab is extremely overcrowded and often poses safety concerns. The root cause for many issues seems to be toxic workplace culture coming from the highest level of management.
