Company doesn't respect you at all. Your salary is based on your nationality not on the competence.

Senior technical support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- 6% company match for 401k - flexible work time

Cons

- It's very difficult to get any promotions. Company is interested in the cheapest engineers. - Your salary is based on your nationality not on the competence. Finnish engineers have the highest salaries. On the same position engineer from LAM would get 60 000 - 70 000 $ per year. But Finnish engineer would get 90 000 - 100 000 $. - Most managers don't respect you at all. You wouldn't get any compensation for the overtime or night work.

No longer cares about its employees

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

It is now all about making money and no longer about having a good work-life-balance. They will bleed you dry and then lay you off. They now have what is called a Needs Improvement competitive mindset, where they make it so that no one shares information or knowledge just to remain employed. No longer work as a team or support each other. More like work till you can't work no more and you have to leave. So much has changed, and not for the better. So many have left on their own to try and find a more caring company.
