Pluspunten
Let's appreciate the frustration and emotions expressed in many of these reviews, but let's also look at some realities here: 1) If you got laid off following the advent of Ron Goldblatt and subsequent assimilation into SUNY, you're one of the lucky ones! You probably worked there during the good years, and you were a valued member of a respected organization that had industry-wide impact. Be thankful for the experience, and proud of it. 2) If you're still there you don't have to work very hard... just smile a lot, pretend you're drinking the Kool-Aid, and act like you're extremely grateful for the opportunity. Sorry about the pay cuts and reduced benefits... Don't forget that you do have flexible working hours - simply show up before the C-suite gang and don't leave until they've gone home for the day. 3) If you're thinking about working at sematech, fuggedaboudit! They're not growing and won't be hiring. The sad fact is they only add an occasional patronage position as directed by their SUNY Poly and NYS handlers, and those individuals are pre-selected by Ron Goldblatt and his Master, Dr K.
