Pros

Coworkers some of the best in the world. State of the art equipment and clean room. With the new breath of life on the AMD material I am happy for my friends that bought houses up there!

Cons

Management & HR some of the worst I ever worked for. The original HR crew that did the staffing at the beginning of Fab 8 were great! There was a turn over there as well and HR went down the tubes. Don't get me wrong, there are a few good apples in those groups though, and I wonder how long they will make it. Too many road blocks to get work done inside the fab. Was a culture of hindrance versus assistance. Had a knack for running off some of the top technicians, maintenance and process, which are the backbone of any fab.

Pros

Interesting job learn something new everyday. Don't get dirty Never got denied OT Pays okay if you live in troy, if you want to work within 20 mins of your job tho have 2 roommates.

Cons

Management refused to let an employee work from home so he can take care of his wife for 3 months. When his coworkers do the same job from Malaysia. Litho dept days management is bad management is some how neither technical, professional or a people person. Rules are selective They will promote MTs sleeping with leads And force out MTs who questions it. They will promote one MT who has destroyed 100k in product And hold back another due to vibes They offer jobs or promotion to who they deem worry months in advance and then ask everyone else to apply for the same position for the optics of fairness. They create narratives about about employees without ever interacting with them. Department doesnt have a good training program. They will praise one tech for doing 4 pass downs and criticize another tech that does a PM which if separated would be 10 pass downs. They have realized they are under paying everyone so knew hires are making more than employees at 3 or 4 year mark. They installed a new machine and it sat for a year until ready for production and in that time they never gave a class to explain to night shift how to operate and troubleshoot the machine. They dont have a standard for documentation so finding the information and the information being full filled out is hit or miss. The vibes are off, people constantly take pay cuts to leave. The company as a whole does not seem proud of it self. Other big companies people say hi to each other in the hall, you will see the company logo on vest and hoodies. People speak about their work with excitement.
