Employee Stories

  • “The challenges are always here and changing, one day I may be trying to fill a molecular beam epitaxy engineer, and the next, a service desk specialist. They all have their different challenges, but it is the best feeling when you can connect a person with a career and watch them excel in it.”

    - Larri Sackett, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

  • “We want to be seen as that one-stop-shop from a divisional perspective so that when you think of HR, you think of your HR business partner. They’re going to guide you to wherever you need to go. We are the face of HR, and so a lot of our HR leaders tell people to start with us.”

    - Michelle Jansen, HR director
