Pros

The strongest part of the company was the long-tenured employees and team members who were there prior to the leadership changes. They were knowledgeable, supportive, hardworking, and helped create a collaborative and positive culture despite the challenges brought by new management.

Cons

Finance leadership was one of the biggest issues at this company. The VP of Finance was overly micromanaging, and the CFO set unrealistic expectations while communicating in a condescending and arrogant manner. Employees with years of experience were routinely made to feel incompetent and undervalued, which created a toxic and demoralizing work environment.

Pros

Onto is focused on a semiconductor industry that has enough room for their cookie cutter products.

Cons

1. Poorly managed from top down 2. No organic innovation with light investment in acquisitions 3. Revolving door for people and ideas 4. Placed 3rd or falling to companies like KLA, who are a beast in growth opportunity and investing in rich R&D 5. Weak sales projections in 2024 while their competition sales are best ever, exceeding targets
