      Pros

      Company builds high quality metrology and defect inspection products. They plan their product life cycle well. They have a good application/marketing team that figure out what the industry needs, and a excellent engineer team that build really amazing tools and software. The salary, benefits and educational opportunities are very good.

      Cons

      There are a lot of tribal knowledge, that some older workers hold on to for job security, and makes it hard for new people to get up to speed and contribute. It's a good company that has lots of cash, so it hire people that are over qualified for their role, and as a result, can get bored.

      Middle management is too political

      Pros

      Technology is top notch, travel opportunities, great peers,there are a lot of things that are decent about this company as such

      Cons

      Highly political mid level management especially in the applications group. Cyclical industry and prone to boom and bust . organizational restructuring is a buzz word for the management.

      OK but not great

      Pros

      Some products are the best in their field. Opportunity to travel (can be good or bad, depending on your perspective). Pretty good pay, with an annual bonus program. Managers do very well.

      Cons

      Below average benefits compared to other similar companies Below average corporate image and community involvement (charity matching gift program is rarely enabled and is chintzy anyway; very little sponsorship of community arts or charity events) Little attention paid to career development; this is is such a specialized industry that experience here may not be applicable anywhere else.
