Fairchild Semiconductor Reviews

Diversity in the roles added to an ever changing product mix following Market trends across the semi conductor industry

A bittersweet review of the Pros since ultimately, we will be out of a job next year, but Fairchild has offered many opportunities in the 20+ years I have worked there.They offered very good benefits. They have the best Educational Assistance program I have ever known. They allowed for me to get a degree and other certificates without incurring any debt. They paid for it all and it is something that will help me move forward after I am no longer an employee. Ever since the announcement of the closure, and even before then when the rumors were going around, the site management has encouraged employees to take advantage of the educational assistance and any other opportunities to help us when it's time to move on. The severance package they are offering is fair. They are providing out placement, a job fair, and other support services to help us out. I'll miss the on-site gym which included a variety of classes for a minimum monthly fee. I will miss the great people that work there too. I am definitely leaving there much better off than when I started.
