      Pros

      Cymer has all the makings for a great company. It's a locally founded technology company. Strong market position and good business fundamentals. Beautiful campus and buildings, good benefits, wonderful workforce. Many talented, remarkable scientists.

      Cons

      Zero empowerment for most managers and technologists. Top executives exhibit a know-it-all mentality, even though almost all are not technologists.

      Pros

      Good weather and location. This is a tech company and the culture is overwhelmingly techie. The scientists are genuinely motivated by the technology.

      Cons

      Too many VP's. Most of them are uninspiring and full of platitudes. No real career path. HR is non-supportive with most requests. Performance reviews aren't put to any real use. The technology isn't easily transferable. You might have trouble landing your next job if you want to do something else. Company is relatively unknown outside the industry. The technology moves so fast that there is little or no process to anything. Their lasers often break down in the field, and since almost nobody in the entire company understands the entire system, everyone is constantly in panic mode. Highly cyclical industry. Layoffs are commonplace here.

      Pros

      Cymer offerrs unlimited career opportuity and advancement for those willing to work hard and smart. Manages the downturns well and is consistentlyi the technology leader.

      Cons

      If you want a career where showing up is 90% of the job, then Cymer is not the place for you. It is expected that employees all be engaged with the company goals and work industriously to acheive them.
