      Good technology but company is not growing. Why?

      Sr. principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Job security considering there are only 2 big probe card suppliers for major semiconductor companies, - Location is big added value with many affordable living areas within commutable distance compare to other in Bay Area. - Good compensation with stock option and incentive program.

      Cons

      - Poor work life balance. Never ending deadlines and everybody is always stretched, - Many managers/directors didn't realize that they've been micro managing. - Too many people with PhD doing regular engineer job.

      Niche market for Probe card technology

      Senior principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Continuous learning from different process is limitless! Challenging! Nice gym!

      Cons

      Not profitable 3 years in a row, continue to downsize and cost reduction. Uncertain. Support 24/7 and weekends. Stress level is high.Politicking is huge.Good working employees have been laid off or resign. No loyalty and does not protect good employees. If your good in 'talking' and presenting and NOT working it's a good place to be, just need to jump in on every email thread and talk the talk but not walk the walk this is a good place to be...
