Pros

Good pay and benefits are satisfactory

Cons

No one knows what is happening in the fab!! Very short handed but work is expected to be done in secs..Very stressful job, Even if you put lot of hours 11hr a day, do not be surprised for a bad review!! Expect calls at 2AM on weekends for silly reasons No co-operation between Engineering and Operations group No employee is happy and most of them are leaving the company within 6mnths-1yr..

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
