Pros

Free coffee and backpack after the surprise 30 day Temp agency requirement.

Cons

Where to start. Interviewed with numerous years of experience, and started at the bottom of the wages. But surprise! At the end of the interview, I was told they go thru a Temp service for a month first. I was a Temp for 7 weeks due to incompetence not on my part. Offer letter was for the hours of noon to midnight, but changed to day shift at the last second. Placed with the worst trainer I have ever dealt with. Ask a question and all I got was "There's the Spec book" and was constantly criticized for doing tasks not exactly the way the trainer did, which was usually done in a poor way of working. Interviewed with my spouse, who was also over-qualified, told they were hiring 3 people. My husband wasn't a teenager whose only experience was from a grocery store with big bosoms, so he was told he was not hired, but told he was placed on top of the list, never to hear from them again. A very homophobic company. Tattletales galore. Anonymous busybodies ran to the boss to complain I smelled of cigarettes, while these individuals would reek of perfume and cologne while working inside the Cleanroom. A massive contaminate for a Cleanroom, and against policy. Even the higher ups wore cologne, who gave me the smoking complaint from anonymous sources. "But I'm not sure it's you, you know how women are" is what I was told. Worst insurance I have ever had in 30 years of Manufacturing. Signed up for their SelectMed + plan, and it covers not even your doctor's fees after paying your copay. The free GoodRx App for prescriptions is better than the coverage you pay for thru payroll deductions. NO coverage until you meet your $5k deductible. Too many office dwellers who provide little to prove their worth and salaries, and with big chips on their shoulders. HR is clueless, can't be bothered, and won't return phonecalls. If you have any experience in a professional manufacturing company, your jaw will drop to the floor at how bad Moxtek is run, or the employees it retains, who would be fired from fast food...which is where most apparently have learned their working demeanor. Old equipment that makes up their poor product at a micron level. Optics are simple, not like Pentium Microprocessors that I've manufactured for years and other microchips, but these Optics projection products look like a disfunctional company made them. Which it is. Celebrating when a 70% yield is hit? Most real companies would have heads rolling at results that bad. So, if you aren't Mormon, heterosexual, young and dumb, I'd stay away. A call center job would be more rewarding. Oh, and I had to take a short term disability leave, was denied against legally justifiable cause, and was terminated during this process with 2 weeks still left that my doctor would not release me to work. This is the religious, homophobic, unprofessional company we're talking about here, and I could go on and on.

Moxtek Response
7y
We have hesitated to respond to this review for quite some time because you usually can’t win either way. However, since there are so many very serious claims in this review, we have decided to respond to some of the claims. First, Moxtek strives for and values diversity in its workplace. Moxtek’s workforce reflects gender, racial, religious, and sexual orientation diversity. For years Moxtek has, and continues to, welcome members of the LGBTQ community as employees and members of the Moxtek team with current employees being members of this community. In furtherance of Moxtek’s company values of mutual respect and diversity, each new employee goes through significant discrimination and harassment training during their first month on the job and continues, as a Moxtek employee, to participate in quarterly training in each of these areas.

Pros

Great people to work with (at our level), some of the upper management are really professional, but most of them are in it for themselves.

Cons

Poor communication from management to the working class, poor review system, upper management chooses favorites, no respect or trust from HR, and they will choose titles to fit what they want to pay you but not to what you actually do.
