Good work, can be easy, but frustrating corporate culture and poor management.

Business Outlook

Pros

I'm on overnights and it's pretty chill. Lots of hardworking people. Working in the cleanroom can be tough but there's some downtime too.

Cons

The work itself isn't hard, but dealing with poor management that doesn't engage much with us and makes some weird decisions that we have to deal with is what's frustrating. Corporate focus on DEI instead of efficient function is driving away good workers who want a return to valuing merit and effective problem solving.
