Pros

Very customer focused. Solid opportunities for engineering development if you are in the right group. Stable management team. Sizable amount of cash on the balance sheet. Market leader in the etch space.

Cons

Work-life balance gets lowest priority. Frustratingly unbelievable favoritism and politics. Promotion opportunities are filled only by people in the "inner circle" and deserving and hard-working people get ignored and side-tracked and eventually leave.

Pros

Significant challenges on a global basis offer constant engagement and stimulation. Intelligent employees. Opportunity for increased responsibilities when the business climate permits.

Cons

Highly subject to the whims of high tech. People placed in positions based on availability rather than capability. Stock options are few and far between.
