Bring us your dead!

Business Outlook

Pros

Upstate NY is really nice.

Cons

The best and the brightest have quickly fled. All that remains are new graduates, that are coming in making more than the original employees - and the dead workers that you can't get to even show up. Those few that can't get jobs elsewhere, or are waiting out their relo commitment. And take a stroll over to the vendor trailer. Those guys that show up everyday to keep the tools running have been shunned to the dusty trail. Ousted to a dingy, dirty trailer with no usable water, and two bathrooms that have toilets without tank covers because to flush you have to stick you hand in there and pull up on the lever. Real nice. I went to get a part from there and could not believe this is how they were treated. And I thought the employees had it bad. All this to fulfill a commitment to have an onsite gym.

Poor leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly skilled and friendly workforce make the daily work interesting. The company services are in demand as more companies move to "system on a chip" type designs.

Cons

Poor long term vision, too many CEO's, few with direct semiconductor manufacturing experience. The BOD is very short term/profit oriented.
