Business Outlook

Pros

pay is ok - most compensation is in RSU's

Cons

To reiterate No work from home policy, ALL Utah employees must be 100% in the office this summer. NO raises for the second straight year. Management will treat you like a number, not a human being, regardless of what you bring to the table. Expectations are clear, but tools are rarely provided unless you provide them for yourself.

Strong company to work for but the pay isn't up to par for area

Semiconductor maintenance technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good structure, friendly people, well organized company that is strong financially and a global leader in semiconductor and cloud computing. Great hours (24/7 manufacturing using 12 hour shifts) but essentially you get HALF of the month off to do what you want -without- burning leave.

Cons

Facility in Fort Collins doesn't pay enough to compensate for the high cost real estate and living in Northern Colorado. Average pay for -experienced- technicians starts around $30/hr. Company is having a hard time filling positions because other semiconductor companies in Utah, Arizona, and elsewhere pay at least $10 more/hr. This division/location was the bread winner for the company for over 10 years but lately the market has become more saturated and challengers are making great strides to take away market share. Fort Collins facility has been on the market to sell but no takers stepped forward. I don't see wages increasing within reason since housing in this area averages $400K for 3 br/2ba house. The gap between California price for housing is closing. Many Californians and dot-com boom business people have flooded here and will pay way over ($50k+) just to buy a house, so most locals are priced out of the market.
