Pros
Worked here for 4 years starting as an NCG after getting my Chemical Engineering Bachelor's degree. Here's my perspective on the pros of working here: -Company culture is great. AME workforce tends to be on the younger side due to large amounts of NCG hiring, and in my experience the more senior employees are quite helpful to the new hires. I enjoyed working with a lot of my coworkers -Good lateral (not upwards) mobility and able to try out different roles within the company -Cafe's decent, especially with the 50% off -Area's nice to live in if you like to hike or the outdoors -I found the work and job responsibilities to be alright and not overly stressful. You can definitely focus on learning transferrable skills that'd be useful to other companies in and out of the semi industry -Soccer league was fun
Cons
-Upper management asks and direction are generally misguided and based on poor justification -Within AME, you're always trying to cover yourself to not make your department / managers look bad at the upper management meetings (DOM, Quality, Yield meetings) even if it involves stretching the truth -Lack of remote/hybrid work for process engineers is backwards compared to how progressive they try to make the company seem -Pay could definitely be better. I did receive a couple market adjustments while working here, however still not competitive within the industry -It does not pay to be loyal. You're better off job hopping after accruing experience and leaving after a few years for better pay -Within AME, there's a small amount of passive off-hours work which can be irritating -The decision for the layoffs did not correlate with how well the company had been performing for 1.5+ years prior to that quarter. The only silver lining to the layoffs is my departments focused on laying off underperforming employees, so if you're a half-decent employee then you should not be concerned
