      No Future

      Process technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most of the people are hard-working, great people to work with. Most technicians go above and beyond to make sure work gets done.

      Cons

      Management has no clue what their staff does but is quick to tell them how to do their job. Very biased reviews. If you are female or over the age of 30 do not bother applying. They only want 20-25 year old males that can say "yes" without questioning, even though they claim they want the truth always..

      Incredibly Challenging and Inefficient

      Equipment engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This place is still very new and immature. tThe advantage of all the disorganization is you get to be a part of fixing the hundreds of efficiency problems there are in the business processes. In addition they have hired around 300 young engineers in the last 3 years, that makes the area very friendly and its easy to make friends if you're a young engineer. This place also never gets boring, there's a lot to learn and fix in a very short amount of time. Starting salary is reasonably competitive (but don't expect it to move much after).

      Cons

      Large amount of miscommunication between management and their employees. It has gotten better since the new GM took over but generally a lot of unawareness from higher up. Teamwork is not very good between Process, Equipment, and Maintenance organizations. Because of no clear responsibilities defined in some groups a lot problems (daily down issues) get shuffled back and forth between groups, lack of accountability for not doing your job also does not help. Yearly Compensation and raises are minimal. There's a lot of people who've been dealing with this place for 4-5 years and are completely jaded. Its tough to work in an environment when people are beginning to get less and less enthusiastic about fixing problems.

      Great Technically but Unstable and won't be around long

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team of talented Employees. People are friendly and senior level engineers waste no time interacting with younger ones. The work does get done and the environment is about teaching, improving and executing.

      Cons

      Culture Shift is needed after IBM Merger. Management does not help to inform mission- and there is a feeling that there is a lot more going on than they let on. No GROWTH POTENTIAL FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS - in terms of getting a new position or moving up. It's only good if you are less than 5 years in
