Pros

Good pay, interesting technology, weather in San Diego is always perfect!

Cons

As a manager, I had zero authority. Zero. Expense reports of all of my direct reports approved by VP. Culture of fear as Cymer Light Source CEO is a tyrant. CEO has brought in his Yes Men from Applied Materials, which defines the culture and has driven out almost all ability to make decisions at Director level and below. Seriously, folks....if you are going to pay me $140k a year....you should enable me to make some decisions. Motto at UCSD is “Friends don’t let friends work for Cymer”

Pros

Salaries are high and people are great and events are fun too.

Cons

Senior leadership team needs to look in the mirror and take ownership instead of CYA attitude and using buzz words that make us feel like they care and are empowering us. Lots of people just sitting around and doing nothing to collect $$.
