Pros

PTO, salary is ok, although it could have been better. Salary increase is 1~2%, quite poor compared to others in Bay Area

Cons

poor management with little to no technical nor managing skills. Due to lack of technical skills of some upper management, it make them even less helpful, adding no value to AMAT products.
