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

Good pay Good benefits Lots of great people

Cons

Seems like more and more jobs are moving to India, Singapore, and China. Applied is selling itself and the American economy to the governments of the world to make the solar market profitable. Lots of hypocracy, surounding the solar and "green" initiatives. Management cannot seem to make difficult desicions to make the company profitable again.
