Svantaggi
- Micromanagement to such a high level that feel like a sweatshop. No trust in Sr. Engineers or Staff Engineers. Need 3 managerial approvals to get one experiment done. I used to make 4 updates a week and attend minimum 3-4 meetings a day just to update - This has become a sweatshop to just churn out reports, logs, fixing machines, cycle time. Team building is so poor that manager want you to miss those events and make reports or updates. - Highest turnover in last 12 years. People are leaving so fast that they couldn’t even have a stable name for a role, Dry Etch, PhotoLitho and PIE are worst areas with lowest staffing. Nearly 50% of Dry etch engineers quit. I saw technicians and engineers crying and walking out on job. You need approval from Sr. Manager to even run a test wafer experiment. So many checklists and updates. - No way to get promoted unless you make checklists, power points and create more work for everyone. Process Integration department has lost all innovation and is just pushing papers now. Missed goals on all fronts. Same director and sr . managers for last 10 years - Worst roles to avoid floor technicians, process integration engineers, process owners, tool owners. You will not get promoted. Even if you get promoted and get 10% you still won’t be able to live anywhere nearby because they pay you so low to start. - Pay structure: people got 1-2% market adjustment during 2020, and 2021. Bonus is based on bell curve of employees. It’s unfair for senior people. A ton of technicians drive Ubers or work at home dept to afford housing in Northern Virginia - Zero hybrid work mentality as this is a sweatshop. People forced to come to work in Covid due to business needs - They want you to leave if you are E3 or above so they can hire more new college graduates on H1Bs, who get exploited as they can’t leave so fast. Company keeps a ton of employees on H1B offering them low salaries and in doing so driving overall cost of a position lower.
