Pros

- Steady work - Good introduction to the semiconductor industry

Cons

- Exposure to chemicals is common, and is not treated very seriously by the long timers, despite clear rules and training. - There is an absolutely massive problem that they have with talent retention. It has gotten to the point where they cannot find Minnesotans, so they are trying to relocate people who weren't staying anyway. This sounds ridiculous, until you get in there and you're the only person who's not from out of state. - Technology they are using is outdated in semiconductor industry, so experience here may not translate to better Fabs if you decide to use this as a stepping stone. - I have been loudly yelled at, while speaking in a calm voice, then verbally threatened with violence. - It seems like they go for the burn you out and throw you away strategy. - Can be very stressful, delicate work.

Pros

Work was interesting for the most part. Had some good challenges. Co-workers were great and made some good friends. First couple levels of managers cared and were great.

Cons

Typical shortsighted company that talks about how difficult it was to have layoffs then goes ahead and brags about how we've had our best quarter yet. Upper management either is incompetent or doesn't care. Probably both. They reduced what was already terrible pto by a couple hours and made it more difficult for use to earn our fab performance bonuses. Benefits are mediocre. Pay is on the low end. My advice is get a job at any of the other semiconductor companies in Texas. They all pay better and have better benefits.
