Pros

Good pay, sub-par PTO, high turnover

Cons

Frequent layoffs (survived 8 in 13 years), no HR support. High turnover rates, expected OT for salary positions, minimal bonuses for exceeding expectations, reviews of the best employees have small financial gains. Very top-heavy management with more directors, VPs, and $250k salary employees than actual employees

Pros

Work was interesting for the most part. Had some good challenges. Co-workers were great and made some good friends. First couple levels of managers cared and were great.

Cons

Typical shortsighted company that talks about how difficult it was to have layoffs then goes ahead and brags about how we've had our best quarter yet. Upper management either is incompetent or doesn't care. Probably both. They reduced what was already terrible pto by a couple hours and made it more difficult for use to earn our fab performance bonuses. Benefits are mediocre. Pay is on the low end. My advice is get a job at any of the other semiconductor companies in Texas. They all pay better and have better benefits.
