Axcelis Technologies reviews about "upper management"

Some people hired are either overqualified or underqualified for the jobs listed, pay is mediocre compared to other jobs in the industry, lack of needed tools and supplies to perform daily duties, stressful deadlines and upper management who micromanage

In my experience at Axcelis so far, no real red flags or cons. The interview process is very thorough and I can see it is hard to get a position.

Axcelis would have been a great company if only they decided to keep up with the times. They currently sell outdated technology and they aren't looking to improve, rather they are simply trying to stay afloat. There is absolutely no communication between engineering and manufacturing, and no one is accountable for mistakes, especially if they're from upper management. I also felt that there was a huge gap in working culture. Most of my colleagues who were of younger age felt that they were underpaid and overworked, with no flexibility or a chance to voice their opinions. As you can see in most of these reviews, Axcelis has quite the high turnover rate. In my truest opinion I believe it is because there is little to no room to grow. People aren't excited transfer into engineering where they will again feel underpaid and overworked.

Little upward mobility for career growth. Raises were nearly impossible to get. Upper management was difficult to work with. Getting off of second shift is difficult as well.

The working hours can be very long and tiring. and upper Management has no clue to customer wants and does what they want to .This causes loss of market share .
