Pros

Good people mostly, decent teamwork, experienced people in senior positions

Pros

Many smart semiconductor industry veterans and many good people who support each other (trying to survive Formfactor together).

Advice to Management

They already know absolutely everything, so there is no point.

Pros

good team and nice intern programs

Pros

Great benefits, great management, great employees, 401k Plans are just a few positive things about this company. Both Livermore and San Jose campuses are surrounded with positive people and great Sr. management. Supervisor and Managers help employees grow and try to get them to the next level if they are willing and show interest. I have currently been with this company for 11yrs.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great communication and leadership. I have learned a lot from management as they have helped me grow and succeed.

Pros

Can’t think of any, sorry

Advice to Management

Pay your employees better and make the bonuses worth something. Too many upper managers that don’t have anything to do that harass lower supervisors and make their lives hell for no reason. PTO is hard to get approved and deadlines are ridiculous. Have the Eng team actually work and hold them accountable. Never can you reach them if you work nights.

Pros

Work/life balance, flexibility, good salaries and benefits

Advice to Management

There is not enough headcount/resources to get out of firefighting mode. People are too busy just trying to keep up with their day to day activities, there's no time to fix processes and issues which is affecting long-term productivity and quality

Pros

Good work and outside life balance

Pros

Good PTO, Health Coverage, Holiday Pay, Job security

Pros

Salary is competitive with the industry. Generous PTO. 10 days company holidays. Great legacy Cascade Microtech people. Flexible hours depending on which department you work in.

Advice to Management

CEO should be aware of what is happening throughout the company rather than leaving it to a few who have no moral compass or understanding of how to manage a department.
