Pros

Location perfect for high end talent Best potential for American start up

Cons

Management outside of the site seems to be so extremely out of touch and treats employees like they don't matter. Too much management from chip factories that are not Foundries and not ASIC with no clue how to manage change Current Senior Manager in role for over a year with no experience and no idea what we do and cannot make decision or changes mind constantly Pay raises and bonus do not match effort or results Annual rating system is from years ago and makes people feel unimportant
