Pros

Many smart people, more than half hold PhD. Interesting, cutting edge work.

Cons

Long hours are expected. Management style is same as Applied Materials, where most have worked before. Company is locked into some equipment designs from early on which hamper progress today.

Pros

- Thriving lazy culture, as long you’re buddy buddy with management, you don’t have to lift a finger.

Cons

- Subpar benefits. - Gossiping coworkers about every aspect of each other lives. - Low morale and actively cut work force to make jobs for everyone remaining harder. - RnD company so job security is low if budget cuts further continue.
