ATMEL CORPORATION Employer Reviews

A typical day at work for me was anywhere from 12-16nhr. Worked
mostly alone.
What was learned I had a scheldule of different jobs, measuring, running product , Certifying employee on different tools.
Management was ok. Some co-workers was hard to work with ,but the job had to be done and it was.
I worked overnight so the hardest part off my job was – more...  to stay awake ,but I had no problem.
the most enjoyable part off my job was i was doing what I love d to do... – less

Atmel is a chip foundry and a very intense place to work. The hours are long and there is a lot of pressure to produce.

Responsible for work for each piece of equipment for the night, worked on equipment qualifications when needed,tuned equipment when required, made sure all staff was in communication with me as to the workflow and what was needed to make the area run with the top effiency. Worked with engineering and upper supervision to run experiments to further advance – more...  technology in flash memory chips. – less

Great benefits, but over time the long work days will take it's toll.

Great benefits, 24 operation, rough on part timers. 12 hour work days, alternate 3 days then 4 days each week. Long weekends.

The team worked well together which made the job envionment good. The Human Resources Department was easy to work with and company policies were well coordinated to implement. If you knew your job, they would let you do it.
