Pros

+ New office. + Slightly better pay, but may come at a cost given the cons overwhelmingly outweigh the pros.

Cons

- Hire & fire culture/approach at its finest. If 0 or negative star for overall rating was possible, the company & the bosses would deserve it. - "We Care, We Innovate, We Deliver" values & "ACE" (Accountability, Collaboration, Empowerment) behaviours are just paper talk only. The company doesn't have it's own DNA/culture & doesn't embody/live by the said values and/or behaviours. - Top management are incapable, hypocrites, don't lead by example & don't walk the talk. They don't even talk/collaborate with one another, but unreasonably expecting the subordinates to overcome the impossible department silos all by ourselves. - Majority of the top management/bosses are not groomed internally, but just parachuted in from external & have no clue/direction on what they want for their organisation/what is needed for the good of the company. - Office politics are rife & turnover rate is very high. Every year there is likely to be top management who get axed & when it happens, the whole organisation under will get eliminated as well. - Corrupt culture, no transparency when it comes to recognition & promotion. The incumbents/long time employees has mastered the art of manipulating data/results for the sake of pleasing/boot-licking the new, incapable, inexperienced (and perhaps, naive) bosses/top management - partly due to no shared database/single source of truth. - No collaboration across departments at all levels from the very top down to the very bottom. No work gets done, everyone is just pushing the work around until the last/unfortunate party has no choice but to clean up the whole mess/tank the workload. - Super messy & very manual systems. No database, most of the logs/data/information are recorded manually either on paper/excel file.

Pros

Huge potential for growth as this is the century of semi conductor chips

Cons

Poor work life balance, pay doesn't match the amount of work, the middle managers do not know what they are doing - decisions are made without logic

Pros

1) Showed notable enthusiasm throughout the recruitment process. (Please be mindful of this, check reviews on the team to which you are reporting before accepting the offer) Made commendable efforts to conduct surveys to gather employee feedback. (Hoping they follow through on this commitment for future employees.) 3) Well-designed office and peaceful work environment. (However, be aware that sometimes meeting rooms are often permanently occupied or blocked permanently)

Cons

1) The organization structure is highly compartmentalized. 2) Frequent reorganization and sudden team changes. 3) Uncertain about when projects will be reassigned to another team and when team leadership changes will occur. 4) A notable presence of ASM alumni on LinkedIn with ~ 2 -3 years of service, might not reflect positively on company management due to employee attrition and potential terminations or layoffs. 5) Unfortunately, the passion exhibited during recruitment diminishes once the candidate is on board, with no apparent buddy system or mentoring in place. Additionally, there are no regular checks and balances on quarterly check-ins or skip-level meetings for evaluation or support.

We value your feedback. The semiconductor space is highly competitive and evolving very quickly, so we don't always get everything right. Wherever there is room for improvement, we want to do everything we can to be an employer of choice for talented professionals like you. So thank you for pointing us in the right direction.
