Silicon Valley Microelectronics Response
6yThank you for your comments!We agree with you that the group of people we have working at SVM are great to work with and each person is extraordinary in their own way. We also agree that everyone in the company is encouraged to branch out and move in a direction that most interests them. It is amazing what we achieve with the collective talent within our group. Our company grows and prospers more every year. We are entering our 30th year and we have never had and unprofitable year. Due to the amazing team of people we have (and many long-term employees) we have succeeded in every economy, up or down, throughout our 30-year history. Thank you for commenting on our benefits package. With health, dental, vision, 401k and more, we pride ourselves on having a benefits package similar to or better than many companies throughout the silicon valley -- and we are always endeavoring to improve and enhance it.In terms of growth within the company, here are some examples of people who were promoted within the company during the past year. Our Purchasing Manager was promoted to Director of Operations. A Customer Service person who requested to move into Purchasing was moved there and later promoted to Purchasing Manager. Another employee was promoted from Material Handler to Warehouse Manager. A Customer Service person was promoted to Warehouse Supervisor. A Material Handler in our warehouse was promoted to QA Associate. Another Material Handler became Head of Receiving. All of these promotions occurred within the last year and all of these were people moving within the organization -- not hiring from the outside. Our goal is always to listen to our coworkers throughout the company and help them move in the direction they want to move in. In regards to a 401K matching program, we are looking into this and will provide updates later on.Thank you again for your comments!
