Pros
make your own luck - you can in theory work your way into doing any job you want to do in engineering or maintenance. work-life balance - middle managers are generally understanding and flexible in regards to taking care of their employees. ESPP - 15% off of stock price at day 1 and last day of 6 month intervals. Potential to make a few hundred bucks or more depending on stock price.
Cons
disconnect - almost all director level and above employees have been hired in the last 2 years. Many seem to be in it for the $. They get paid, get the title, and move on, and are not actually invested in the company long term. Cutting company perks regularly - freeze on spot bonuses of 100, 200, and 1000 dollars by HR to 'review'. Benefits for emergency response personnel removed, which is a safety hazard and not industry standard for semiconductor. ice cream socials (frozen wrapped ice cream snacks) or low end food trucks replace the $$ and quality company benefits now. stock incentives - company went public with no founders stock for active employees. Executives, however, are hired on and given 1000's of shares. executive founders received hundreds of thousands of shares of stock. Anyone with title of manager, engineer, tech, or operator received 0 shares. This doesn't sit well with people who already notice the disconnect i've mentioned. top heavy - lots of higher level employees that are glorified question askers -they get asked a question and simply ask someone knowledgeable to answer it for them, then relay the information to the person who asked them. Anyone can create an excel file, not everyone adds value to the company.
