      Observations from an Engineering Intern who spent two summers working for AMAT.

      Pros

      Large company, good place to intern as the company's reputation will carry weight within the industry.

      Cons

      Long term prospects for the industry are questionable. You could end up in a group that may not be there in 5 years or offers no room for advancement. You won't be converted to a full time employee during a downturn. Also, Applied has a tendency to lay off employees to meet Wall Street's expectations even in quarters/ years where they have a net profit.

      Good opportunities on the decline

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a large company that tends to pay reasonably. There are many opportunities to move around within the company and do different things.

      Cons

      Management by the numbers with little respect for employees is the new trend. A very large amount of the business is being moved offshore. Opportunities and satisfaction are contracting.

      Pros

      Great people. Great environment. Amazing community work.

      Cons

      Building relationships with different departments seems impossible unless you walk over an initiate contact. Not much cross functional interaction.
