Now your sister need to work during weekends?Originally posted by Meat Pao:New applicants without experience...usually start as a process engineer....my sister started as a process engineer several years ago.....SSMC...
Got OT pay...and sometimes got shifts...but only occasionally.....and initially...now she has no more shifts..just normal day hours...
Pay is good....OT pay is good...and bonus is good....everything is good, I recommend u all to apply...
About stress level....it is relative...Im sure anyone who is serious about working...can withstand any stress....especially young people...shouldnt be a problem...
Btw my sister studied an unrelated field....civil engineering degree....but end up in semicon. So I believe they accept unrelated degrees.....just try..

I understand bonus depends on company overall performance but is the bonus given out quarterly or end of year? This applies to all semicond company?
How about pay increment? Is annually? Usually increase by how much? The pay increment depends on anything? like boss like you? recommendation? -
as far as i noe, chartered gives out bonus quarterly depending on company performance...
as for pay increment, promotion, it's up to the company's policy -
err...no one has answered me my previous question,
a) do i need to be able to speak/write in mandarin to join these fabs? as from what i heard from my pals, it is a requirement for one to be able to speak/write in mandarin as all the instructions will be in mandarin as it originates from taiwan/china.
can anyone confirm this? -
being able to speak good mandarin would serve as an advantage when communicating with ur other colleagues who are from China... and trust me, majority of ur colleagues are not Singaporeans... and other of these ppl, majority of them are from China... so good to know how to speak mandarin...Originally posted by Phatboy:err...no one has answered me my previous question,

as for the documents part i not so sure, but should be all in English.... -
urgghhh...why they so racist??

both are full of politics. ssmc more 'ang mo' politics and umc more cina politics.
Both work you extra hard ,round the clock and you climb higher with more paper qualification.
umc , you get to travel more asian route while ssmc sends u on more ang mo biz trips. i personally prefer ssmc to umc environment. I think its easier to work for white people than taiwanese.

Can tell me more about the cina politics?
I heard ssmc got pay OT pay after working hours while UMC don't pay? Is this true? -
If for example u working 12hrs shift, do u still need to do OT after the 12hrs shift?
-
unlikely even if so, the following day should be an off day for uOriginally posted by peychinhwee:If for example u working 12hrs shift, do u still need to do OT after the 12hrs shift? -
Well...
I used to work in STM as Process Control Engineer...
Normal Shift....
Worked like a dog and my jobscope covers all areas of Process, Equipment and Production....
Everyday work from 830am till 8pm and NO OT PAY !!!!
Felt exploited cos I specialises in MicroE ...
Quitted after 8 mths and joined semicon vendor...
SHIOK SIA.... Forget FABS...Go join Vendors !!!!
-
wats vendor? stmicro is nt vendor? ok im nt sure wat im talking about also....
-
Ya, what is semicon vendor? And which semicon vendor you are working now?
-
So STmicroE still practise the no OT pay now for engineer today??
That SUX!! -
not really to do OT after the shift, but to come back during your off days.Originally posted by peychinhwee:If for example u working 12hrs shift, do u still need to do OT after the 12hrs shift? -
Let's say the semicon company you working in does not practice rotation shift but normal working hours plus weekends duty occasionally. Public holiday how? Still need to work? If really need to work, really sianz... then have to kiss goodbye to christmas and CNY.
-
if want to work as vendor, join ASML.
imo, its benefits are good. engineer level still can claim OT on normal work days. -
i see like asml like nt hiring anyone nw lehz...
-
TECH today is hiring people on saturday recuit,
Anyone know the approx starting for fresh graduate as engineer there? -
aprox 2.8k

What is the prospect of an equipment engineer in semiconductor industry and when you get out of semiconductor industry?
What is the prospect of an process engineer in semiconductor industry and when you get out of semiconductor industry? -
i think if u work in a certain field long liao, u get experienced there, dun change field leady.
-
The semiconductor industry may not stay in singapore for long mah. So I'm thinking if I really work in this industry quite long and suddenly all or most the semicon company shifting to china, then how mah. Thinking if the equipment and process engineer got any transferable skills or not mah and if the long term prospect good or not.Originally posted by venny:i think if u work in a certain field long liao, u get experienced there, dun change field leady.
