      Sinking Ship

      Equipment engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I got paid pretty well for how little I actually did. I did more as a Tech than as an Engineer

      Cons

      I wanted to contribute, but everything about the job and the culture made it difficult.

      What career growth?

      Senior process engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NIce facilities. Shiny tools. More interdisciplinary learning than other Fabs like Intel/Samsung. Some people actually know stuff and you can learn from them even though this population keeps going down

      Cons

      Career actually declines after the first 2 years. Review process (GPM) is one of the worst I have seen anywhere. They have a concept of peer review but it is worthless. Your peers could say you did a great job in working with them however if your manager wants to give you a bad rating, he disregards those peer reviews and gives you a horrible review and no one can question it. Good luck trying to get justice. All you end up hitting is a blank wall. No wonder people quit this hell hole. Managers take non citizens for granted holding them hostages with visas and green cards. Immigration office should shut this place down ASAP. If you want to see a career graveyard, come here. You shall see many. Mid level managers will be the main reason for this place going down.

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Commute, Gym, Cafeteria and of course good looking mostly empty building

      Cons

      No future to this company. IBM employees who came on board makes more money than veteran employees here. If you are applying for S/W engineering position in certain divisions, you are wasting your time. Especially in IT,CIM,MT.
