Chaotic company

Senior applications engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

It's customer support style. You can manage your time slot to work with/for your customer, then you can have a bit of free time if you are familiar with what your customer needs.

Cons

if you do not have much knowledge of what your customer needs and you will face a lot of trouble. Your manager also doesn't know what customers need. So you're gonna help yourself, You need to discipline yourself to find what customers need and train yourself. The company's training is totally a trash.

Nonto Innovation - Weakest at management, retention and innovation, despite their name

Product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Onto is focused on a semiconductor industry that has enough room for their cookie cutter products.

Cons

1. Poorly managed from top down 2. No organic innovation with light investment in acquisitions 3. Revolving door for people and ideas 4. Placed 3rd or falling to companies like KLA, who are a beast in growth opportunity and investing in rich R&D 5. Weak sales projections in 2024 while their competition sales are best ever, exceeding targets
