Pros

Some really talented co-workers at this location and the end product (medical X-Ray device) is used to help save lives.

Cons

Call it the incredible shrinking business. It was really great to go to work every day and bring the fab up to speed and increase the yields but management wanted to increase profits and started laying off some really good talent and kept the bad managers in place ruining the culture for the worker bees.

Pros

The work/life balance isn't bad as long as you draw the boundaries. The people at the site are amazing to work with and keep me going every day.

Cons

Poor management, poor leadership, poor direction. Lack of fun community activities and very un-inspiring culture. Diff

Pros

Great Flexibility. No micro-management. The core group that I work with is a good team.

Cons

Business seems to be unstable along with series of layoffs. The culture is changing drastically for the worse.
