Pros

It is located in Richmond, California and it is a nice area to live and weather is always mild.

Cons

Management is very set in their ways. It is rather poorly managed. Most new people are hired for new projects. Management consistently bids on job below what it costs to make the parts. They tend to blame engineers for cost over runs to keep their jobs. Most of the management is infected with petty jealousy and incompetence. Management is unable to get into new business and unwilling to try spending money on developing new products and methods of manufacturing. They only know how to make expensive aspheres.

Pros

Team members at your level are good to work with. But that is reflection of society and not of Zygo!

Cons

1. Recycled management--> people who have earlier failed as manager in their job get promoted to higher positions. 2. Marketing person with absolutely no knowledge about technology nor care for workforce makes outrageously wrong promises to customers and make engineers to work weekends also at no extra benefits or adjusted holiday! Saying at Zygo " you can sell anything that you can make a datasheet for--> book the order--> then we will figure out if we can really make it!" 3. Close to Zero personal growth if not negative. 4. You have to be in some inner circle not to get laid off.
