Plating Engineer at Amonix

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Great place to work if you were recognized and awarded for your hard work and efforts to improve the company"

What do you like about working at Amonix?

"Knowing that you are working to help the future of mankind by supplying and improving the solar energy conversion process. We went from a 25 per day, 60% efficiency wafer plating rate, to over 200 per day, 98% efficiency plating rate, a substantial improvement that I made happen. I also enjoyed improving the wafer dicing process by troubleshooting the dicing saws and changing out parts to make them faster with more accuracy. I LOVE to fix things =)"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This IS NOT a place to work if you believe in a tight bond between the employer, management and employees. Record ALL work performed because none of the employees (including managers) will speak about the good jobs you have done. A lot of people there are only there for themselves/ a paycheck. They are not there to improve the company."

What don't you like about working at Amonix?

"Being able to perform all of the job titles listed better than 95% of the employees that worked there at the time I did, but being paid less than a forklift driver/ warehouse worker. I worked 50+ hours a week for 9 months straight."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Realize who has the passion and the desire to improve the company and award these people accordingly."
