Vantaggi
One of the leaders in semiconductor manufacturing industry with cutting edge technology Good benefit overall Nice colleagues
Svantaggi
Cyclical business environment, down turn layoff still happens. Long working hours in lab with tough deadline can be expected all the time. There are a lot of reviews and emphasizing on presentation instead of actual work, engineer needs to spend a lot of time in lab doing the work but also needs to be able to do fancy presentation and know how to show the work to upper management. A lots of planing works, communications, documentations and meetings even before starting the work, micromanagement happens very often. There are little room for creativity and no room for mistake. Hard work is not guaranteed will get respect from management, and it’s very competitive environment with a lots of PhDs doing the same work.
