Business Outlook

Pros

Proven manufacturing quality and cost control. Good execution culture. Many value added options like RF, high-voltage, non-volatile-memory, MEMS, etc. A good work-life balance.

Cons

Don't have the most advanced technology in Singapore site. Many small projects but not many of them are exciting. The whole system is designed for manufacturing, so development work is not so easy to carry out.
