Pros

Westerwood Global has great people. I really did enjoy the diversity of people that go hired. The managers are pretty cool too. One time they hired one employee that did not care as much about quality or about their coworkers, and that employee did not last long. I gained very valuable experience that helped me get hired on by a client of Westerwood Global. The work was occasionally a bit tedious but stimulating most of the time. Sometimes you are under the gun to get work done and to do it well, other times you have to hurry up and wait for hours at a time. But no matter what, doing the job right the first time is always a high priority. Westerwood also cares a lot about safety and does not brush aside any safety policy. They will always take the appropriate actions when a situation arises. It was difficult to obtain a raise, but Westerwood is *sometimes* willing to give raises if you are legitimately going above and beyond and have a good track record of success. Getting certified in your position by the company goes a long way to help with that. Seems that 8% to 12% is pretty much reasonable. The benefits are really pretty reasonable to cover the minimum of what is needed.

Cons

The pay is significantly lower than the industry average for semiconductor technicians. But that is mainly because most people do not get a job here for the money but for the opportunity to gain really valuable experience. You need to be okay with starting small.
