Pros

Former Coherent Inc was a really good company to work for. There’s some of that left.

Cons

CEO Chuck overpaid for Coherent Inc and did it with variable rate loans like a teenager. Now he’s choking all businesses to save money. It’ll cost big time in the end. Completely micro-managing from the very top. Terrible practice.

Pros

Exposure to major markets. Good experience. Many kind people.

Cons

Prepare to work 55 hours per week. Late night calls regular. Company only cares about its revenue this quarter. Management colleagues are mostly white men in their 50’s who play golf. Cliquey. Everyone has been there for 20 years.
