Vantaggi
A few very smart, friendly and experienced techs, engineers, managers doing their best in a toxic environment. Cutting edge technology, new fab and equipment creates the potential for success.
Svantaggi
The few good people are overwhelmed by the huge number of incompetent people in leadership positions that look out mainly for themselves rather then helping and empowering those they lead or manage. Too many incompetent managers without the necessary skills to manage. Many managers lack integrity and do not adhere to the values and behaviors they preach. Global performance management system promotes mediocre work and does not properly promote those who truly contributes to the company's bottom line. Rather it promotes only those who have the uncanny ability to sell a "good" story and incentives most people to do just good enough. Without good managers, excellence suffers and this cycle has been replayed over the last 5 years in Fab 8.
