Business Outlook

Pros

1. Exposure to powerful connections in a wealthy industry. I've met multiple C level folks from contractor and vendor associations. 2. System and tool start-up experience, which are solid resume builders. 3. Nanotechnology is a flourishing industry in upstate NY. Other big players are rumored to possibly build here constantly.

Cons

1. Company cannot get out of its own way. Inefficiencies are ingrained in the factory/business systems. Logistics are an absolute nightmare for engineers. 2. Far too much politics. Some people just walk around and talk all day while others are working unbelievably hard. Promotions seem to be independent of who does or doesn't do actual work. 3. Obsession with making the various "Dashboards" look good causes most engineers to miss critical work on the tools. This one is improving recently IMO, but we still have a long way to go.

It is stressful and there are too many priorities that constantly change.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is opportunity for advancement, to learn and use a variety of software, and to interact with many people from diverse cultures.

Cons

There is too much work and not enough people to do it. Quantity takes precedence over quality. There is no structure. Management thinks working harder is better than working smarter.
