Pros

Cutting edge in engineering feats and opportunity. good stepping stone for optical, mechanical and computer controlled processes.

Cons

Lackluster opportunity for the masses outside of engineering, with limited staff, potential and reward - an American orphan of a European parent, the difference is known and felt. Turnover / layoffs common. Total compensation largely based on profit sharing which rides the cyclical booms and busts of the semiconductor industry.

Pros

You get a chance to work with cutting edge technology in a company that has a huge portion of the market. The company is large enough to be stable but the Wilton location is small enough that you can get to know most of the engineers.

Cons

Software is a support roll there, so don't expect to be doing anything innovative. If you're excited about the idea that your software will be running on big, expensive, state of the art machines then you might enjoy the job. But if you want to grow as a software engineer then it may not be the best place for you.
