Pros

Above average salary, some of the folks are very intellectual and amazing teachers!

Cons

Very Political Even though there are very smart people working with you, everyone holds their knowledge so you're learning curve is pretty flat. There is no training program for a new hiree, and way too many contractors and they hold their knowledge so very difficult to learn Repetitive work

Pros

Plenty of hands-on work with advanced semiconductor equipment. Exposure to global engineers and real manufacturing processes. Opportunity to learn troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and system operations. Training is detailed and technical. Great stepping-stone for careers in automation, engineering, or technical training.

Cons

Workload can become heavy during releases or upgrades. Some team communication can be slow, and priorities shift quickly. Not every department has a structured growth path. Pay progression could be more competitive for the Bay Area cost of living.

"Stay away"

Pros

The only good thing is that you may learn something about the tools. It may help you to get a job on the customer side, hopefully.

Cons

First of all, they don't have formal training even safety training. Too many layers in management, your manager screens information keeping you in the dark, therefore there is no way you get the bigger picture so that you don't have a way to innovate. Also on the other hand, all the credit is taken by your manager and when it is time to lay off people, you manager can get you out easily. This kind of culture kills all the creativity. That is also why they have a lot of projects, few of them are successful. They don't care about your career at all. When the stock market is screwed, it is time for you to move on. It is also a place racially divided. All the management do is acquiring. There is not much long-term new ideas.

Pros

The employer feel they can find and replace the employee easily from market, when the production ramping up, they will try to hire the employee aggressively, even provide good incentive to attract the people to join, like sign on bonus, and then just provide the basic product training to start the work; but they will lay them off without hesitate when the business slow down

Cons

bad reputation in the market will make the company to get the people more difficult and difficult, and make talent employee in the company looking for stable opportunity
