    First Job with multiple challenges
    The good thingsComing with the background of supply chain, it was hard for me to be in a project team in a semi-conductor plant where they need engineering touch to conduct the project. However, with the proper guiding of my manager, I managed to survive and learn the things quite quickly and tried to implement few new tactics that can track the project progress easily.
    The challengesThe salary was below the standard level, the working hours was not fixed as need to support the production team for every shifts. Standby by the weekend and also on public holidays. Sometimes have to attend the calls even on MC and AL.

    The challengesHeavy workload and reliance on engineering. OT on weekends which distrupt personal time. Management is worst. Focusing on machine delivery and not quality. Crazy working hours ( doing rotational shifts even for engineers). Paygrade not equal to workload.

    Avoid COHU if you're from a tech background
    The good thingsGood experience for those wanting to work for software development for machines. Exposure to a lot of low level workings of the machine. Acceptable work life balance. (Pale in comparison to other competitor companies who provide more work life balance)
    The challengesExtremely low pay (relatively compared to neighboring states) Just moving state would double your pay. HRs here is the worst I have ever seen. On good days they try their best to reduce payment incentives. Don't get me started on bad days. There were cases where people's confirmation is delayed by a few days just because they don't want to hand over people bonus. COHU is considered as the exporter of good talents in other company. Talent retention is terrible. Only those who are too comfortable with the work are left.

    A good (not great!) place to work.
    The good thingsOverall good benefits for employees regardless of their ranking. On-time payment of salary (never late). Generally safe work environment.
    The challengesOffice politics is overwhelming. Date line can be unreasonable but that is the same everywhere you go. Not much career development and personal development.
