Pros

Industry leader in the semiconductor equipment sector. Lots of talents within company. Lean hierarchy. A lot of learning opportunities within company. Company well-structured and organized. Transparent company structure. Internal university with courses covering topics from business to technologies. Goals and objective well-defined within divisions and groups, so employees are united to strive for success and are not lost in confusion. Relatively patient management and little politics. Projects are terminated with good reasons and not due to politics. Large R&D spending.

Cons

Long and weekend hours. Insufficient lab support for engineers engaged in research and development leading to inefficiencies. Lots of meetings.
