Pros

-Good team chemistry. Everyone is helpful, and the skill sets of team members complement each other well -Very Competitive Pay (at least starting out), good health, life and 401k benefits -Good hours (9-5 most days, seldom have to work at home) -Good job security. Lithography tools are complex and take many months to even begin to work on. Thus the company tries to keep turnover low in an effort to not spend too much time training new people.

Cons

-Most upper management positions are held by Japanese, and they like to promote other Japanese people into those roles. Very hard to get promoted from this role; most people in this job stay in it for their entire career at the company -Like promotions, raises are not great. They barely keep up with inflation. -While the company is a great place to start a career and maintain a steady job for a while, this stagnation may lead to you "falling behind" your peers at other companies in 5-10 years.

Pros

It is a decent option (i guess) for people who just need an engineering job and want to get their foot into the door so to speak of engineering right after college, but many don't stay here too long after they've "built up their resume" - it is a very steady job....I mean you could literally stay in this position as an FSE I for probably like 20+ years and do little to no work and literally no one would notice how unproductive you are the entire time.

Cons

- No design for at all...so if you're a mechanical engineer or some sort of other type of engineer and you want a role where you get to design or have any amount of creativity this really isn't the job 4 u. - everyone looks dead inside and depressed / shell shocked at this job that has been working in this clean room for longer than 20+ years. Really sad.... - You have to wear a cleanroom suit that will make you sweat constantly for the 12+ hour long shifts on the days that you work. - there is a real attitude you get from the client that you will spend your entire time working for on the behalf of Nikon for, that they're better than you b/c their bage color is a different color than yours - working only 3 to 4 days a week sounds really cool at first, but eventually working on a shift like this really takes a toll on you.

Pros

The benefits package is great, very good medical insurance and no waiting times to be vested into any of the benefits.

Cons

Management, training and pay. The managers give favors to the worker that are their friends outside of work, and cover up the mistakes they make. There is a total lack of training, than later on they expect you to know everything about the training a elite few received. And lastly pay could be better, for the economy it is good. But compared to the industry it is low.
