Pros

It is a new fab, and there are some opportunities, but the cons far outweigh the positives.

Cons

There are far too many problems here. 1. Management rules by intimidation and humiliation. They really have no idea how to command the respect of their employees; as a result moral could not be lower, and the turnover is horrific. Few of the original people are left; the ones that are still here have incredibly thick skins and can tolerate massive amounts of abuse. 2. Company lacks any real direction, they continue to grasp for a spot in the market, but have not been able to accomplish anything substantial. As a result their portfolio is fragmented, profits are but a dream, and raises are non-existent. 3. The cost of living here is very high, and compensation is below industry standard. The fab is located far away from any place that would be considered civilized. Night life and entertainment is nonexistent. 4. Safety, Not much effort expended here. There is some talk no real efforts expended on it. The safety dept has no experience, and although they try, they are not getting it right. There are already many reviews on this site, and most all say the same. The few positive reviews are from ringers from HR. This place is as bad as they say, beware, you have been warned.

Pros

Great team in Burlington. Diverse technology portfolio provides endless opportunity to learn.

Cons

Non-revenue support groups have small budgets and are seen as cost-burdens. Raises and promotions are behind the industry.
