Pros

My Operations teammates are good people that I enjoy working with. From Operator to Operations Manager, there are multiple employees that want to do well and try. My pay is low on the high tech side, but generally good compared to the rest of the industries. I stay busy in the workday. There are lots of challenges to work on.

Cons

A newer HR leader and newer site leadership have created a toxic and broken culture. Teams are afraid to discuss issues due to backlash. Operators are treated like spare parts that can be swapped out instead of skilled people with abilities. No engineering leadership to coordinate manufacturing improvements. No Operations leadership to help make teams more efficient. Operator turnover is high. People used to leave to make more money, Now people leave to get into a better culture. Entegris still has an issue accurately paying hourly employees on time.

Pros

Good, dedicated people at most sites. Lots of "career opportunities" due to high turnover creating a constant stream of openings.

Cons

1. Terrible leadership and management 2. Constant cost cutting without thinking about the ramifications 3. Continual acquisitions that don't get integrated properly before the next acquisition. This leads to a chaotic organization that is constantly changing. It also sparks a catastrophic clash of systems as Entegris tries to force everything into SAP in less than 12 months, regardless of the size of the company they have purchased. 4. This acquisition strategy makes the financial numbers look good when buying private companies because no one can evaluate the true synergies that were accomplished. All that is available is the picture after the acquisition, not before. But when they bought CMC, a public company, they clearly destroyed shareholder value that existed when the companies were valued separately.
