Pros

Applpied Materials is a great company to work for. The people or nice and very respectful. Their salary compensation is very competitive and some what better then most company.

Cons

You have to move around and work really hard to get notice that you are a great worker. Getting promotion is like climbing the rocky mountain. Hoping one of the rock to fall off or move out before you can get to that spot.

Pros

Good bunch of people. Can do attitude. All work hard to get the job done.

Cons

Very high stress. No straight line organization for decision making. Too many matrix levels. Too many VPs, all want to manage, but no one wants to be responsible. When good news comes, VPs waits in line to take turn in gloating. When bad news comes, they all points fingers at each other or just MIA. Decisions are made at levels too high, due to lack of direct responsibilities, to actually see whats going on at the front line.

Pros

Having access to the technology at amat is a wonderful thing.

Cons

amat continues to take away things like the car allowance, and overtime for anything over 8 hours a day. This would have been fine, except these were some of the things promised when I took the job years ago.
