Amkor Technology, Inc.

I managed an engineering team of 12 people that were responsible for identifying all product engineering efforts that were required to support more than 50 international customers with leading edge packaging technology as well as to source PCB substrate technologies to allow us to meet their requirements.  A day would involve communicating with the customers and providing updates to them on the status of development and prototyping efforts underway in our factories in Asia.  If there were more projects that our team in the factory could support, then it was my responsibility to work with the customer to prioritize projects and work to get them done.

Amkor had a very professional work environment.  Amkor management were generally good and drove technologies and usually funded programs that had a sound financial case.

The hardest part of the job was supporting in excess of 10 highly demanding customers simultaneously which was difficult since we were limited in resources both in the USA and in Asia.

The most enjoyable part of the job was that we were allowed to manage our own programs and to be self-driven.

Amkor Technology, Inc. is a semiconductor product packaging and test services provider. The company has been headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, since 2005, when it was moved from West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States.[5] The company was founded in 1969 and, as of 2014, had 21,900 employees worldwide and a reported $3.1 billion in sales.

With factories in China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Portugal and Taiwan, Amkor is a leading player in the semiconductor industry. It packages and tests integrated circuits (ICs) for chip manufacturers.

In February 2016, Amkor fully acquired J-Devices Corp., the largest outsourced semiconductor assembly and test provider in Japan.[6]

Amkor Technology has competitiveness for chip assembly by thermal compression as well as wafer level packaging.

Billing, collections, reviewing shipping orders, releasing or holding the shipments, mailing invoices and statements to customers and reconciling each account to ensure Amkor was getting paid in a timely manner (work with each account statement as if it were a personalized aging), or to work with the account for collection purposes, or disputes. Corporate culture was laid back. Hardest part of the job was lack of supervisor and management support. The most unfavorable part...overly critical. I did receive an award there, but it was the Sales department that nominated me.

Assist, plan and execute maintenance activties. Act as primary contact for regional personnel for any building issues(climate control, odors,smoke,spills,damage,emergencies and repairs). work closely with outside vendors and contractors to ensure work is completed according to specifications.Head of building security. Immediately respnds to building emergencies on a 24 hour basis. Acting supervisor when suporvisor is not on site.Perform jos such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC. Dismantle and install furniture.Perform maintenance duties as assigned by Facilities manager. Responsible for managing incoming and outgoing shipments.

I learned a lot working at Amkor; from understanding the assembly of parts and how all the materials, people, machine and environment affected the quality of the parts assembled and getting to work with people to resolve the problems associated with failures either assembly detected problems, electrical or field failure. It also gave me a good experience working with people in the factory and customers. It was not always fun, but overall a very good experience.

The management here is messy and unorganized. This might be because of how large a company it is, but that should not be an excuse. Poor communication and lack of cooperation.
The pay was reasonable but the hours were not, it was barely part-time. This company was not compensating for life expenses. 
I did enjoy the company events, which were nice to see the rest of the employees that were in the office (it's a big building). Otherwise, I would look elsewhere if you're looking to grow your career/have meaning to your work. But if you're looking for just barley a paycheck, this is the right job for you.

Amkor Technology is a ISO 9001, TS16949 certified and one of the top semiconductor company in the Philippines wherein employees are enjoying their jobs because of safe and good working environment (CLEAN ROOM), good benefits and job security.

Every day at work was pleasant. I learned to inspect incoming and finished product at 100%. Microscopes,  AOI( Automatic Optical Inspection) and visual inspection were used. Received various bonuses for completing projects on time. Made the holidays as festive as being at home. Co-workers were and still are like family. The management was superb. The hardest part of this job was leaving after the company was moved overseas. The most enjoyable part of this job was everything.

My time with Amkor Technology, Inc. was priceless. If life did not change for me, I probably would have stayed a lifetime with them. They were professional and yet kept that work/life balance in place, making every day fun and exciting. This company still exists today, although they have downsized a bit in locations. There was no difficult part of my job. I was known to stay late and work hard, never missing a day of work. I gave to them what they provided me in return...a healthy position and room for growth.

Working at Amkor varies greatly based on your manager and team. Some teams work long hours with little appreciation from their leadership. Others (including myself) have enjoyed good leaders and decent work-life balance. Overall, Amkor offers very competitive pay and benefits. The day-to-day work is great, lots of good people and many opportunities to learn and grow.The most enjoyable part of the job is to exceed if not to meet expectations to meet common goals.
