This is the company reminds me of working in a steel factory back in India. If you read this review, let me give you 3 reasons why you should NEVER work for Silfab Solar and why I quit working. First, inside of the facility, it's quite loud because there are machines use pressurized air and it gives you much stress. Imagine working 8 hours with noise. Earplugs are requird but you need to purchase them with your own money. Second, average temperature inside of the facility is around 30 - 33C depends on the location. If you are unlucky, you will end up working close to 33 even in winter. Since it's very hot inside you will be wearing t-shirts daily and you will easily get hurt by sharp edges of machines and wood pallets anywhere in the facility. Third, supervisors will yell at you and point at you infront of your coworkers anytime you make a mistake or if you can't make the daily quota. All they say is faster faster faster like an automated robot. They will treat you as their servant and of course there is no respect and appreciation for what you have done. It's your choice working in this company but if you are my friend or family, I would like to suggest you find other place to work.

It is not so bad to work here. I worked here at night shift for one month as an operator. It was my first operator job in my 20-year career. I was a manufacture engineer before moved to Canada, I understand well how these manufacturing companies run their businesses. Their way is not the best, but is reasonable. The line leaders and supervisor, like David ,are respectful and would like to help you though they keep driving for higher output. And this company is multicultural, Filipinos and Indian are the majorities, but there are still some other people from Korea, Pakistan, China, Lebanon and South America ,and black people I don't know where they are from. From operation perspective, this company can be improved on the areas below: 1. Bad 5S: garbage, broken parts or scrapped equipment piled everywhere. 2. Bad layout, not follow VSM, the shop floor should have enough space to make it better after optimization; 3. Low OEE for front end due to bad condition of Tooling ,fixtures or machines, too much machine broke down time; 4. Weak technical team to support the automation lines. the fixtures can be designed better and machines can be maintained better. 5. Low FPY , Need strong quality team to analyze the defects, drive for root cause and corrective actions. The product and process are quite simple, not difficult to do this. 6. Safety sense need to enhance though some measures are in place, for example, I was a temporary new employee, but I was allowed to operate any machines after brief instruction, actually it is very dangerous on automation line. 7. High operator attrition rate, estimated \u003e20% new employees on line, it is unhealthy, need to find the reasons. In short, I had a memorable working experience there, it is not the best but reasonable.
