Pros

Excellent work environment. A real "melting pot" of people from both Americas, Asia and Europe, people of both genders and of all ages, from the recently graduate to the "young person of... retirement age" who just won't retire, the company offers a large range of opportunities for many levels of skill and expertise. Good effort to minimize impact of volatile markets on work force by managing variable costs in design and development (via outside consulting) and in manufacturing (via contract manufacturing). Pretty good job security, especially for talented individuals with proven skills and expertise. Significant effort by management, even during most critical downturns of a volatile market, to identify alternate options, offer relocation and retrain people in order to keep such talent and skills inside the company. A very liberal and open approach to work activities in general, allowing everybody to express his or her personal opinion.

Cons

A tendency towards standardizing creative activities that might perhaps be excessive, with too numerous procedural forms to be followed. Such tendency, although good in theory, could lead quite often to an unnecessary volume of work with no value added.

The best company

Pros

Very nice people, and a good management system. They are very friendly and you can feel they act like a family. I am just talking about Veeco San Jose. It was Ultrtech before and people still are friendly like in the old days. You can see lots of old people who act like your uncle or your dad and they help you in any situation. All higher managers respect the new employee and they try their best to make the situation comfortable for them. The whole environment is very good and the work-life balance is perfect. Nobody pushes you and you have the freedom to grow. I took more than 10 courses and they paid for all of them.

Cons

The only cons that they have is that they are too much friendly. For example an engineer can not work for more than two weeks and nobody says you should do something. This situation put pressure on other people who likes t work.
