Business Outlook

Pros

Very interesting technology. Bright, capable coworkers. Generally competitive pay and benefits. Cymer is the worldwide leader in providing lasers to the semiconductor industry for lithography. Due to their market dominance over time, they have a large installed base, which gives them some buffer in market downturns, at they derive a large amount of revenue from spare parts and service.

Cons

Intensely stressful. Very cyclical business, with frequent layoffs. Extreme nepotism in upper management. The company originally was built around being the technology leader in their industry, but as the market has become tighter, they have shifted more to being focused on costs. This has detracted from their tecnnological edge.
