Good technical environment (semiconductor business) to expand knowledge base. Empowered to do experiments as needed to find answers to ongoing problems.
Penny pinching. CEO and executives are focused ONLY on "EPS" (Earnings Per Share) and the price of common stock. After all, this is how they grow their personal wealth through stock options. They are living in constant fear of being sold off or outsourced. No conferences are allowed. Very little new equipment is purchased for our lab. They seem to be "cooking the books" for years now to make the division more attractive to potential suitors. Forget about meaningful salary increases. Many, many years have passed since I saw one of those.
Drop your allegiance to the company, as the company no longer has any allegiance to you, personally. You are as expendable as a paper towel. Do not hide information from your employees. Tell them everything you know.

Engineering Technician
A couple of managers interviewed me briefly. The manager who did most of the interviewing was an aloof and self-absorbed PhD. He looked at and treated me as though I was less than human. He later told me that I was his first technician.

I was given a tour of the facility and interviewed with several different managers and engineers. I was also taken to lunch. I gave a presentation of my prior work and had several props. I even gave one prop to my host engineer; he loved it so much
