Pros

Investors have contributed billions of dollars to build this company and have created a whole new fab from scratch, bringing thousands of new manufacturing jobs to the U.S. Corporate office is small enough that it feels like a friendly place.

Cons

A tough market to enter. Not sure investors or executive management are able to make the company successful. Management tries to save costs through the usual means (from headcount to travel to small potatoes stuff), while recruiting executives they hope will provide salvation. Hierarchical culture.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Great team in Burlington. Diverse technology portfolio provides endless opportunity to learn.

Cons

Non-revenue support groups have small budgets and are seen as cost-burdens. Raises and promotions are behind the industry.
