Pros

Highly technology oriented. It's a company filled with all sorts highly skilled engineers that makes the ideas come true. You stay with AMAT because you enjoy working with either knowledge people or experience people. However, the company can treat the employee much better than what can can do now. We are proud of being part of it, but the top management should do something to show they are proud of having the employees working for it.

Cons

Compensation and reward awarded after you did a good job.

Pros

Applied Materials has a reputation for being a leader in the industry. They have good benefits, a professional atmosphere and the company makes an attempt for employee work/ life balance (on site dry cleaning, car wash, work from home, etc). It was a good place to develop professionally when manufacturing was in US. The solar side of business will provide this opportunity now.

Cons

Very lean environment creating challenges at all levels. Out sourcing over the years has led to job eliminations and the lean environment on the semiconductor side. Lean environment causes work /life balance issues for those with a life!
