- Pay/Benefits (even relative to recent changes in medical coverage laws). - Industry/Technology is cutting edge.

As expected for a new company/green FAB were overcome over the last 4 yrs in Malta, NY (FAB-8).

- HR Policy and Management alignment to consistently enforce- significant changes and improvements over the last few years; however, the leadership and HR team still have a ways to go. - Discipline and Execution with respect to engineering processes and manufacturing. - Alignment between cross-functional departments. (Process Control, Engineering Modules, Process Integration, Characterization). - Training and Operating Procedures not fully established. - Opportunity for technical/professional career growth (GlobalU?, certifications?, off-site Vendor training)
