      Pros

      People are great. Great training from fellow technicians. Good place to get your foot in the door in the industry.

      Cons

      Management who claims to care but will talk negatively behind your back. Let's load up, move people from all across the country and then WHOOPSIES!!!! Just kidding. Your laid off. Negative outlook from MAJORITY of employees makes for a toxic workplace. How about you get rid of THOSE people instead of the ones who actually want to be there and make a difference? Instead of getting rid of your technicians who are the heartbeat of your operation, get rid of the 150 people you have sitting in HR that can't even get payroll sent out on time!!!

      A trainwreck waiting to happen...

      Pros

      Some good people who are working hard and trying to do the right things. A great opportunity that is, unfortunately, being squandered.

      Cons

      The list is very long, but in general, it boils down to lack of leadership leading an ad-hoc approach to strategy and decisions causing a lack of focus, consistency or execution.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Chance to work with many experienced, talented colleagues and gain industry knowledge quickly - Most people you work with day-in, day-out are very nice people - Opportunity to see a large-scale ramp (hundreds of new tool installs, 14nm tech ramp) - Since organization is new and fluid, large opportunity to contribute and improve - Great opportunity to learn what NOT to do when trying to run a successful company - Have heard company is a lot better than it was a few years ago so may be slowly improving

      Cons

      - New college graduates severely underpaid, practically no bonus or raise (losing to inflation) - Performance review is a joke, management gives no advice on how to improve and is unaware of your contributions to the team - No structured training plan in place for new hires, you are just thrown in and expected to learn from others - Most engineers seem overworked with little work-life balance. Plenty of complaints about stress, unrealistic expectations from management, having to answer to incompetent individuals. Experienced individuals are often too busy to help train new ones - Lack of communication between management and employees. Major changes are implemented and can take you by surprise
