      Challenging, Frustrating, demotivating.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Still getting a paycheck. The work itself is high tech and quite interesting. Too bad the cons are increasing.

      Cons

      Resources keep dwindling. Resources as in pay, needed equipment to get the job done, IT, quality, people. Management is still not aligned. Documentation is getting worse. Blame game is rampant. Cover-ups, character assassinations, perception driven rather than data driven. Efficiency is replaced with dynamic initiative changes on a dime. Projects initiated get dropped halfway so you spend most of your time starting over in a new direction or initiative. Training and learning opportunities not possible due to lack of money and time. Meetings are unstructured and chaotic.

      A Dying Company

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work-life balance could be good depending on your group or manager. Not a bad place for a college graduate to work here for couple of years, gain hands-on experience and then move to a top-tier semiconductor company.

      Cons

      The company is very short-staffed. The work environment is negative. Salary is 15-20% less than the market value. Employees are generally angry at how they are underpaid or mistreated by the company. Older employees typically have been working here for over 15 years. Most of them feel they are stuck here either because they bought a house or their kids are going to school in the area. There are very few semiconductor companies in this area. Most good young employees leave the company after couple of years. If you have to work here, be sure to negotiate base salary before joining since there will be little or no salary increase every year. The company works on older technology from 90s but still struggles because of old tools and lack of resources in the fab.
