Atmel Reviews

I have been working at Atmel

Pros – Atmel has great benefits and the compressed shift schedules are great for working parents or someone trying to go to school. The salaries are pretty competitive for the colorado springs area. There are some opportunities for advancement. Atmel in colorado springs seems like it is trying to become a better and friendlier place to work, management is communicating better with employees and trying to include them in the process of making the fab more streamlined and profitable.

Cons – Management is very inconsistant in dealing with employees. Some supervisors bully and threaten employees and most of us feel like there is no "safe" person to go to when there is a problem with someone in a management position. Atmel has recognized this and is trying to make changes so hopefully things will get better. I think the problems have gone on so long now that morale is very low and nobody trusts that atmel is going to do anything they say they will.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work, everyone will come around when they realize things really are changing.
