Wolfspeed reviews

Cree can be a very average place to work. If you are in a good department, with good management, and do your job well while showing growth potential things can go well. It doesn't take much for them to go the other way, though. It is a bit too easy to find yourself on the cusp of termination or stuck in the same job for many years.

Small 4" fab, but I like it; it allows for lots of opportunities to make improvements; some equip very outdated & a handful of single-source tools provide challenges. But they've done great with what they've got. In-house WIP software is lacking & does not have many elements needed to provide consistent/industry standard quality, WIP lookahead by lot, recipe mgmt, etc. This makes it hard to expedite improvements, reduce cycle time, troubleshoot issues & reduce scrap. Fab is in NC where it can be harder to attract experienced staff despite RTP proximity; still it is a nice campus with local wildlife wandering the factory scene. External office structure leaves a lot to be desired despite savings considering the $ put into new upstairs offices. Hopefully this will resolve itself in the years ahead. Lots of operator turnover & some engineering too; what can we do to reatain talent?
