Pros

In Agoura Hills, challenging technical problems. Very bright technical people to work with. Fast paced environment where time to market is critical.

Cons

Management cares about efficiency, profits, and not people. Industry is very cyclical...lots of layoffs. Be prepared to do spreadsheets and fill out time cards. You can't have a conversation with management that is not data based.

Exciting work but without due respect.

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineering talent is extensive and allows for challenging technical work. Company ideals are sound and honest and are reflected in the daily work environment. Opportunities are made available to those that are willing and able to step forward and put in the extra effort to lead the way. Many long time employees are still with the company and provide significant domain expertise to drive new projects.

Cons

Long hours, poor raises and few perks remain. Company has been in continual contraction since the tech boom and layoffs are all to commonplace. The market for this equipment is shrinking significantly and only experiences strong business after the rest of the semi market is growing steadily. Backend equipment is the last to experience growth and first to feel the effects of contraction.
