      Stressful work environment, felt like a number not a person.

      Pros

      Good benefits ,3 weeks vacation to start, 401K, really good health insurance plans

      Cons

      Very stressful environment, no work home balance, always asked to come in for overtime and stay late without a thank you or any appreciation whatsoever. It's all about the bottom line and making the quarter. They keep stacking up work on your plate until you croak or breakdown. Very cheap company, if they hired a few more people in other positions, it would take a lot of stress of others, but very cheap.

      Used to be a great place to work

      Pros

      Back in 1999, when it was still considered a startup, it was a great place to work. It used to have great benefits, it used to have a good bonus program, it used to have a lot of things until Chuck took over.

      Cons

      Read what about 90% of comments here have said. There's really bad work/life balance and then there's Cree. Even in 1999, there was no balance but at least an attempt at compensation was made. Cree has maintained the work expectations of a startup company while evolving their pay/benefits schedule to that of a big company. If you want no life outside of work, come on board!

      Good work ex when you come out of college.. but NOT worth spending your 20s in a company like this!!

      Pros

      1) Critical management comments make you rise up to the occasion each time... that helps in polishing your skills 2) hands on experience were they expect engineers to be on the floor 3) fast management decisions that directly impact company revenue 4) benefits okay 5) In rare occasions your idea can get heard and implemented as long as it is really good!! But do NOT expect this to help you in your annual review (disclaimer)

      Cons

      1) ZERO work-life balance 2) not a company for a person in their 20s where you need to see the world and have fun... work schedules are like 12-14hours (no extra pay) 3) Pay scales suck.. if you are an engineer or lower you get ripped apart. You are basically a personal assistant to the "scientists". Scientists get paid well and everyone below that are dispensable and dont get paid with market standards. 4) As an engineer you existence and respect is not taken care of. You get yelled at and insulted in group meetings. Makes you wonder if LEDs important or basic self respect in life!! I am a BIG supporter of LED lights but I cant compromise my life and basic well being by working for such sadists. 5) 99% of the time engineer is given the work to move batches and wafers and you need to be higher up to get actual process development opportunities. 6) too much hierarchy in the system ... and you are made to think that if you are an engineer you are above technicians/operators. I am a person who like treating people equally, and I hate to be the bad guy and be mean to techs/operators when things go bad. 7) more visibility to top management when you make a small mistake and ZERO visibility when you do a good thing 8) New engineers start career in night shift. this is the worst shift. day shift passes so many things onto you that you end up staying 12-14 hours everyday. Finally your social/family life suffers. Is this really worth it? 9) The more longer you stay in Cree, the more "powerful" you become. But trust me, you become unmarketable to the outside semiconductor industry if you are an engineer in Cree. Scientists have it different as they own all product development. 10) final line --> AIN'T WORTH SPENDING YOUR LIFE HERE!!!!
