Pros

Cree Cafe' on site for Breakfast, lunch and catering, creative chef and supporting staff.

Cons

Morass of unethical managers void of any leadership skills who content themselves with supporting their own self-worth. Not interested in finding the truth, decisions are made by opinion and supported by rumors. Wafer Fab Managers demand loyalty, support and trust but are unwilling to reciprocate. Managers are competent at powerpoint and briefing numbers but remain oblivious to employee developmental needs. Manager invades personal space by inspecting subordinate’s cell phones and decrees who supervisors are permitted to communicate with. HR / Employee Relations teams cannot be trusted. They will commend you one week then the next week behind closed doors condemn those same actions. They have intentionally withheld investigative facts that purport the truth because the truth did not support opinions. Last exchange with HR I was told “you will do as HR recommends”. Not a collaborative environment but rather dictatorial. Sadly, the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is either unable or unwilling to address the general lack of ethical leadership. They want to avoid uncomfortable questions or a dissenting view. Always keen on Glassdoor ratings, the SLT will present a rosy picture knowing full well that the bully mentality still exists within the Wafer Fab. To the SLT credit, they initiated Leadership training but six hours of classroom instruction does not develop leaders.
