From the top down this company is very tactical. They are good at this - However, there is no strategic direction besides the primary goal to build it cheaper than the competition. Any one who has been to a business school course on marketing should know that this is a dangerous road to go down. For now however, ON has managed to get by with this as – more... their primary strategy. However, the cheap mentality also goes to employee compensation and benefits.

For example, because vacation accrues, it is commonplace for ON to require employees to take vacation in a certain quarter so as to meet finance numbers - without regard to employee inconvenience. – less

Actually it is already three years over as I worked for ON SEMICONDUCTOR and in the meantime lots of change happened, practically almost all the people wit whom dealt at ON left the company. At the time I was there it was a vibrant fast company, I enjoyed very much to work at ON

This job required you to be organized and clean in your work habits. 12 hour shifts required standing for long periods. Brake rooms were really nice (TV's and food avalible) Co-workers were friendly and happy.

Worried about future, benefits going down hill.
Good co workers

Early in my career at ON Semiconductor, it appeared that learning new skills and job advancement was possible. With changes in management, it is no longer so. The reward for woking hard and getting projects completed is to be removed from most projects or given so little responsibility that it is clear that working hard does not pay off and the people – more... being rewarded are those who don't perform, but to keep them on payroll they are rewarded with new experiences. – less

busy workplace, very much particular with quality and safety, applies all best methodologies for excellent quality products, co-workers are very professional.

Semiconductor company with diverse employees, willing to help the company grow.

My day starts by creating a priority list based on calendar entries and things to do. Read emails. Follow up with my staffs and employees on status, questions/concerns and new initiatives. Meet and provide update to my Boss at least once a day.

Learned to lead and manage in challenging environment.

Management is slow in bringing big changes into IT. – more... IT is seen as a cost center that makes very difficult for management to make hard choices and bring big changes.

Co-workers are great, always willing to work and try their best to align with overall IT priority and goals.

Hardest part of my job is to secure budget and bring changes into environment.

Most enjoyable part of the job is to drive the decision based on data and metrics.

present executives bring changes based on data and metrics.

develop and deploy solution using cutting edge, cost effective solution. – less

ON Semiconductor doesn't care at all about the average works (Maintenance Tech, Process Tech and Production Tech). There only concern is how much of a bonus can the manage team achieve. They even went as far as to do away with the bonus program for the average works, even though we had reached all the goals. Their excuse was that the program was broken – more... and didn't work, But all of management just so happened to get a double amount for their bonus during the same time frame. All average employees really don't care about reaching any of their goals since that time and the company just doesn't seem to care or doesn't notice. Yearly rises are lower then industry standard and most employees only look at this place as a job not a career. – less

Facilitating the quality group at ON Semiconductor has given me the ability to coordinate with customers and manufacturing sites in addition to internal personnel. Such a diverse range of contacts along with our assorted catalog of parts forced me to ensure each quality issue was assessed individually and in a timely and organized manner. I welcome – more... new challenges and thrive when given the chance to rise to the opportunity – less

I was an MA (manufacturer) in the Diffusion area. I worked on the day-shift, 6am-6pm. It consisted of working either Sun.-Wed. and then every other Wednesday off, OR Wed.-Sat. with every other Wednesday off. I was a certified trainer; which meant that I was qualified to train my fellow peers at different processes that I had knowledge of. If there were – more... any changes made to a process, either management or the process engineer would create a document to explain the change(s). We had to sign off using our ID, to let the computer system update our ID-account, to say we understood the changes made. I worked closely with the acid-hoods, otherwise known as "the cleans". This required me to maintain several pieces of equipment/acid-hoods; it consisted of having to drain tanks, clean and rinse them, then refill them with fresh chemicals (while wearing additional "acid-gear" protection), some tanks required tests to make sure that the tank was performing the way it should. The equipment was not considered "up & running", for product, while it was in this state. I also worked with furnaces; they were like oven's that baked, or processed, with a variety of chemicals for different amounts of time; each furnace/tube was not the same. This means that I had to be aware that the right kind of product was loaded into the furnace, and that the right recipe was loaded into both the computer system and the furnace equipment-system. The product I worked with were called, 12" wafers; some were more fragile than others, and some had special instructions to follow. There was a protocol to follow, RE: the order in which we were supposed to run our work. We used a system with 4 different levels of priority; we had to also take into consideration several other variables when deciding what needed ran next. We had to also know what tasks were coming up, either required for the MA's to do...or for the Maintenance team to do. Our factory was run by 4 different shifts; this means that we all had to give the following shift an overview of the day. – less

I worked on several challenging projects while at ON Semiconductor. I always enjoyed my experience with ON Semiconductor and the people I worked with. The managers are all top rate and treated me with the utmost dignity and respect.

Benefits are average for the industry, Average pay, the Gresham site is the flag ship of the company so it will continue to produce wafers at low cost for them. Management is all about them self, not the company nor there employee's. Shift schedules are compressed and you get a lot of time off which is a plus. The culture at site is very poor no one – more... cares about the goals of where the company is headed, they are all there for a pay check this included all of the Gresham site management team. – less

The job itself was neither hard nor truly rewarding, became a drone job - some love it, some dislike it. Working as an operator you could only move up so much even after obtaining multiple internal certifications. Appreciated the employment and the effort into keeping employees up to date with our employment going overseas.

Excellent and talented people, both technically and otherwise, that makes you grow in your own role. Some organizational changes though, has made it less secure as a job. Some cutbacks have not even made sense in most employees minds, which has created a distance between employees and management that is unnecessary.

I worked on the applied DSP development team mostly in the sound lab on an audio research project. I would say that my co-workers were the brightest and most interesting colleagues out of all my coops placements. The work itself was challenging but extremely rewarding.
