Great Company with Great Benefits - But Beware of Manufacturing
Great Company with Great Benefits - But Beware of Manufacturing
Being a process and equipment engineer in Manufacturing has taught me many technical skills that will forever stay with me. You will learn how to be creative and how the semiconductor industry works.
Manufacturing work-life balance is hell. You will be on call 24/7, and trust me, you will get called.
Manufacturing doesn't take care of its employees well. You are always under constant stress and worry that upper management will come down on you for every little thing.
It's also not very motivating seeing the IT and business departments having parties, free food, better deals, etc., every week, while manufacturing engineers just watch and work all the time.
Take care if your manufacturing engineers, not just the business and IT departments. Also work on removing the toxic manufacturing culture.
