Not paid on time is deal breaker

Pros

Im struggling to think of them. Pay scale for experienced people maybe.

Cons

lack of pay on time, management is lackluster. Ive worked here almost 5 years. I've had four reviews. Three out of my four reviews I have exceeded expectations on my performance review. I have not been promoted nor been seriously considered for any management positions. When I ask what can I do to reach the next level be that in a tech role or non exempt, I'm told to keep doing what I'm doing. Over my almost five years here we've been forced to use vacation for cost savings three times. This most current time this month. there are four months left in the year and we have to sue 80 hours of vacation before the year is up. If you dont have 80 hours you have to use what you have. I've worked all over the country in this industry. In over 15 years I have never not gotten my pay on time. We did not get our pay this week on time. We were told it was a processing issue. No company that has a 7-9 billion $ fab has any excuse for their people not being paid on time. We were told it may take a day to reach our account. Well were paid on Friday. That means The entire malta campus will not be paid until Monday which would be the next Business day. This is unacceptable

Pros

In Asia Pacific, at least there are some decent souls able to help you in your first and second month. I appreciate the helpful colleagues in Singapore site that I met. Honestly.

Cons

Overall direction is bad. I cannot help to advocate and launch a campaign to engage staff when I am not convinced and convicted about it. Sorry, but there is something call conscience.

Pros

If quick learners have chances to get good exposure and opportunity to grow. Alpha program was very useful but stopped due to budget reasons Some quality in house training programs available.

Cons

Salary lower than industry standard Work life balance can struggle during prototyping Rapid appraisal and growth paths are not available. Need fresher projects
