Pros

Some of the best of the best employees work here. They are people with a good old fashioned work ethic with average 20 years experience who thought they were coming here to make a difference. Now they count down the days for there 2 years contract to be up so they can get out of this nightmare.

Cons

Upper management is so concerned with micromanaging and has the recent college graduate making all the decisions. What you learn in school and what happens in the real world isn't always the same. When an experienced employee who genuinely cares about the company and it's success tries to voice their opinion, it is dismissed. Most experienced employees dread coming to work now. The moral is the worst I've seen in any company. Management closes it's eyes to it. It has been brought up in communications meetings and the upper management response was "suck it up". The arrogance of upper management and the poor naive fresh college graduates will take this place down. If it wasn't for the ignorant upper management this fab would already be successfully making wafers and in record time and record yields.

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.
