Pros

This is one of the most advanced fully automated semiconductor facilities in the world. The facility is located in the Hudson Valley and is only an hour from New York City. The facility is close to major highways, railroads and airports offering access to a variey of recreational interest. Working here allows a unique opportunity to work in a multi national, multi company aliance collaborative atmosphere with opportunities to work on several cuttin edge technologies and in developing future product geometries. There are weekly seminars and presentations on various subjects regarding current technological breakthru's and other subjects of iterest within the engineering community. There are ample opportunities for professinal networking.

Cons

This is a 24 x 7 x 365 manufacturing operation. Because of recent downsizing some services such as education have been cut. In addition at times it is difficult finding the right person to assist with issues. There is a mix of production and development wip in the line which can cause some comtention with tool time for development work. The overall atmosphere is that of a sense of urgency which at times can adversely affect personal life balance. Mentoring is encouraged but is often hard to arrange due to work constraints and committments. The engineering community is located in large cube farms.
