Pros

Work with some of the best technologist in the field. Work on leading edge technology development. Have the flexibility to move to a different job function

Cons

Since I have not work for another company, I do not know how to compare. I feel career development could be slow, but other company people may say the same

Pros

Applied is a large, global technology and manufacturing company. Many opportunities exist within technology, engineering, operations, and manufacturing. Compensation tends to be very competitive.

Cons

Growth has been within existing markets as well as through acquisition of smaller companies. As a result, the organization is very matrixed. In some parts of the company, it can be difficult to have a clear understanding of the proper peers and stakeholders. As part of the semiconductor and high-tech industries, Applied is subject to large business cycle shifts up and down. This can lead to quick changes in operational mentality and organization structure.
