Okay Place to work.
Okay Place to work.
- Smart people: I worked with one of the most brilliant minds out there in the semiconductor equipment industry.
- Leading edge technology
- Better job security than other companies.
- Challenging environment
- Prepare to put in long hours
- No career growth. If you do not hold a PhD it will take you forever to get promoted even with receiving high performance reviews each year.
- Extreme low pay for the amount of work you have to put in. Other companies were paying 40% more for the same job. Have seen plenty of new grads leaving for something better within a few years.
- A lot of old-timers. Do not hire that many fresh blood to help bring in new ideas and morale.
Learn to give back to the employees more or else all the new college graduates that you hire will leave.
