Vantaggi
Great people to work with. Developed good rapport with my staff, peers and mgt. Very much a "family" in that sense. I got to learn a lot about BCD technologies (an area I had not worked with before). Benefits were nice as were the 401k matching program. With automotive certified processes, the company could make a lot of money if Operations gets its act together.
Svantaggi
Always trying to do more with less (a lot less). Pay is definitely average or a little below. With a lot of old equipment that isn't matched, there were a lot of processing issues and resulting scrap. Technology development runs at a snail's pace because the fab is always overloaded. Not clear to me that Operations really knows how to run a fab efficiently, resulting in a lot of WIP bubbles and "Chinese fire drills"
