Retirement homeThe good thingsAll departments are relatively relaxing & of zero stress (except Modules i.e. Diffusion, Wet Clean, Litho, Etch & etc.). Almost as if a retirement home.
If you're capable, you will totally crush it in STM. However, you might find your professional career inadequate due to the lack of challenges presented.
The challengesPolitical. Full of managers that do not want to participate in any sort of decision making. For ease of blame-shifting in case things go south.
Full of engineers (from shift level up to device level) that do not know what they are doing & have no intention to further improve.
Modules can be stressful at times.
