- ASM has no technical training whatsoever. Expect to spend excessive time learning about their hardware and technology.
- 1/10 hardware folks are incredibly knowledgeable, and do 90% of the work. The remainder are disconnected from the technology, and expectations for them are asymmetrical to the expectations for process engineers.
- Minimum of 50-55 hours per week. Some work 80+, but I refuse.
- There are virtually no women in the workplace. Anecdotally I would say 90% are men, and the technical leadership team is almost exclusively men.
