Manufacturing Engineer
Very challenging and interesting state of the art instruments are developed here by a lot of very smart people. It leads the industry in almost every tool. There is good teamwork to resolve issues. The facility and benefits are good and management is flexible as long as you get your job done.
Pace is very fast and no such thing as 40 hour work week.
Industry goes in boom bust cycles so they lay off a lot of extremely talented staff in the down turns.
They are moving manufacturing off shore.
It tends to be ultra paranoid of high inventory levels at the expense of profits and efficiency.
Should minimize layoffs during down turn as can't bounce back when good times return.
