      Pros

      One of the main reasons to work for Applied is its global footprint and the emphasis it places on customer relationships. One gets to really understand how a large corporation works in an international setting. Other main reason is the flexibility to move to different divisions within the company and to different roles. Great place to network and meet some really interesting people.

      Cons

      1. Long work hours -> Some times the management just expects you to live for the company than to work for it 2. All work and no play 3. Cafeteria - Sucks big time. 4. Lot of travel.

      Not quite enough.

      Pros

      In the semiconductor industry, one of the only companies with a clear goal on how to survive the recent semi downturn and come out strong. Appears to be one of the better corporate citizens.

      Cons

      As I have read in other reviews, too much work politics as the company is literally structured as a FFA resource fest with too many stretch goals, insufficient resources, slightly incompetent upper management. This is the result of being in too many spaces and spread too thin. Also, being a publically traded company, too much emphasis on the short term bottom line with shareholder ass-kissing (and still doing poorly) over taking care of employees. Additionally, benefits are only average, especially for a high tech company.

      Pros

      The best reason for working at Applied Materials is that they are the Industry leader.

      Cons

      One of the downside about working at Applied Materials is that the average salary is below market rate.
