      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.

      Pros

      Upper management has good holistic view of company. Good compensation and benefits. Good fitness center and health advice and benefits.

      Sometimes communication and overall direction at lower management level seems confused or variable. Makes project completion difficult as target moves.
