Pros

A lot of bright people, but they are getting wasted in the very bad work environment.

Cons

Management sucks. You won't believe until you actually have to work with one. I am hoping people don't do the same mistake that I did. I read a lot of reviews about Cymer when I got their offer. A lot of bad reviews about managers. I didn't believe. Now here I am. Regretting ever working at Cymer. It is the worst place you can ever work. If you have other options, do not come to Cymer. All young managers (late 20 to early 30), inexperienced. As they can not fix the problems and they are worried about their own jobs, they scarify people under them. If you want a seasonal job come to Cymer. I see a lot of people getting terminated lately with no good reason. Bright people, but you go to work every day and see another one disappeared all of a sudden. Why? Where do they go? Managers started chopping up people already for their longer lasting job. Cymer is good for internship, but worst for basing your life on. I am looking to move ASAP before they put me through what my friends had to go through.
