Pros
Experience from a costumer side of semiconductor industry
Cons
Was on this site for 10years. Entered after high school and wanted to get my foot in the door so the easiest route was to be a janitor. Moved to a CE position with applied materials as a customer engineer. After about 4.5 working for vendor, I was approached to move to GF. So I took the opportunity they brought me on as a senior MT. For the first year I was pm team. Then moved to CM “corrective maintenance” busted my butt for about a year doing that. Was notice by a former manager that I was very knowledgeable and put to task long down chambers and also after I was working on the tools that needed start up and or upgrades or even rebuilding a whole tool and removing one. I was the one that went above and beyond to help make CVD more self efficient, and less reliant on the vendor for pay service. Which I did to a point vendor was only needed for software needs. Got no compensation increases or promotions to a title that met my experience or noticed. When my cost savings was sufficient enough to buy a home next to the Saratoga horse track. So placed two weeks and got walked within 50mins. For speaking up for myself and fighting for this for three years.
