    Heathy work/life balance, good PTO, below avg pay

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Engineering coworkers are helpful and kind Amount of PTO is above avg Heathy work/life balance in the engineering groups, for the most part I think

    Cons

    Below average compensation. Low enough that the pros don't quite make up for it. Also there's a large variation of salaries at the same level (for example two principal process engineers might have a 20K delta in base salary).

    Read the reviews and you will find if working here in worth it. (It is not)

    Pros

    12 hour shifts. Large parking lot.

    Cons

    I saw red flags that I should have acted on, but I gave the place a chance. The equipment is from the 90’s (antiques in the semiconductor industry). If you are reading this to determine if this place is a good fit, my advice to you is you can do better.
