Smart about technology, less so about business

Pros

Good exposure to a variety of engineering technologies. Some top-notch engineering talent in terms of both technical ability and customer orientation. Some sales people are actually technically knowledgeable about products. Relatively flat organization; company is small enough so that you can have substantial impact in a given area.

Cons

Internal loyality pursued to the point of cronyism. Lack of willingness to question whether people are being employed in appropriate areas of competence. Lack of respect shown between employees in high-pressure circumstances. Bureaucracy is out of proportion with the size of the company.

Pros

This company had interesting work, nice people, professional environment, and a pleasant atmosphere. It was very family friendly and for the most part, people worked 40 hour weeks.

Cons

The company never seemed to do as well as they projected. The semi-conductor field is very cyclic and FSI seemed to not do as well in the good times and do worse in the bad times than the industry as a whole. There were lots of rounds of layoffs. Upper management was not local, which led to some hard feelings.

Pros

Good work/life balance Relatively low stress Interesting technology Good technical talent pool

Cons

Concerns about long term viability in such a competitive industry. Many of their competitors use cheap labor (India, Vietnam, China, H1 visas) and are willing to push employees to the breaking point.
