Such a shame - Recensione dipendente - Lithography Engineer presso SEMATECH

Rebuilt SEMATECH will be a key industry player. The old SEMATECH model was dying, not SEMATECH. Management is very transparent; if you have your eyes open and you are listening.

There will be some chaos until the new model of industry engagement is embraced. Lots of naysayers still on board (they will leave as local job market improves). Compensation packages not great (improvement will depend on how we embrace our future).

Good salary for the area for sure. Good industry

Since the new CEO, Ron Goldblatt has taken over...He has taken the company down to the ground. He hired his friends from his previous job for 6 figure salaries, and decided to terminate all the previous higher management. Referral bonus went into his pocket. Removed all the good benefits: no more working from home, flexible time and even decided to cheap out on health insurance. Outsourcing all of the support and technical positions to CNSE slowly, aka "Reverse Assignee" positions. Even decided to hire his own favorite person as HR so he can treat them as his puppet. All the management members are his puppets. The company head count used to be well over 150, now it is almost under 100 employees, most of them un-satisfied and already looking for jobs. During company meetings an employee asks a questions, he makes fun of them and shuts them up, he acts as a bully. For many years many employees were promised room for growth, but got nothing except more managers above them..Inexperienced retired old white males...There is no culture anymore in the company. You have to be at your desk from 8-5, and if noticed not there..you get yelled at or tracked down...Feels like you are back in 1st grade.
