Pluspunten

Applied Materials offers excellent compensation and benefits to its employees. The company is one of the most generous I have seen in regards to total benefits - including profit sharing, health care, tuition reimbursement and dental. It is a good company to get some initial work experience.

Minpunten

There is little if any career path at AMAT. Many people have worked in the same role for several years because they are afraid to move into other areas of the company - which could expose them to a higher probability of being laid off. The high number of layoffs over the past several years have hurt worker's morale and the overall culture. Ten years ago, this was a very exciting a vibrant company to build a career with and there were many young people being recruited into the organization. Today, the company has changed, and it is not the exciting place that it once was. Career advancement and opportunities are not as prevalent within the organization as they once were making it hard to advance or build a career at this company.

Pluspunten

Salary, I was compensated very well, the I hated working there so much that I resigned without anything even lined up. It was a good move for my mental health.

Minpunten

The leadership in general are not very intelligent, disorganized, and uncommunicative. They were decades behind in certain areas that lead to massive inefficiencies and overwork. (Out of respect I will not be specific). I suggested an improvement that would have taken task time down from 8 hours to virtually real time, but the executive Team, in their arrogance, did not allow me to implement the system. Sometime later, the cumbersome, unreliable system was not working and a deadline approaching. I worked 20 hours per day for 7 days and built an entire real time reporting system - then resigned. No one at AMAT was ever helpful. It always seemed an inconvenience to give a colleague outside ones group the time of day. I gained absolutely ZERO new skills or professional development at AMAT all my time there. Many of the employees at the time, including senior management, felt free to publicly express invectives against the current POTUS in their suffering TDS. Another reason I could not work in the environment. Rules for thee and not for me.
