Pros

Interesting work. Smart people. Decent compensation, but they try to work you down to the bottom at the start, which leaves a bad taste the whole time you're there because they've already shown what they think of you.

Cons

Managers who're most interested in their own year-end bonus and promotions. C-level management that talks about passion and commitment while taking home millions, but stingy about sharing the wealth. Just walk in the lobby and everyone seems like they're walking to the guillotine. When you ask for help, if it's not in the yearly goals, it's not going to happen.

Pros

Work wih top of the line semiconductor tools.

Cons

based on a good ol' boy status, if you are not buddies with managers or experienced personnel then you won't be around long. Also, work is based upon customer contract so work goes as fast as it comes.
