      Pros

      Get paid for doing nothing and nobody will ever be questioned about it. People can cry to HR for nothing and get people in trouble and FIRED with lies. Take long lunch and break. Don't have to actually CALL in late or off. Just send a txt.

      Cons

      Working for Mark Hamlin. a lead having to do everyone else's work. Unable to make someone do there job without HR getting involved. People who have fake Degrees.

      Pros

      If you come from outside better to bargain and get better position and your salary is based on your grade. Decent hike vary from 8 to 11 percentage in average, some may get 16 or even double sometimes.

      Cons

      No growth after 5 years and no promotion. Obsolete technologies and legacy stuff and no option to switch internal projects. If you end up with working on China projects then you need to work like head less chicken and about 16 hours a day, which implies no personal life and you will ended up to get mental pressure. If you want to join applied do not join Chennai branch, there is lot of micro management and politics, Chennai branch is so biased to specific product team. And their staggery is not make you learn to keep stay, if you are average performer then you have better environment there. If you are good resource then better to look at the job outside.

      Pros

      Process knowledge is the companies key strength and it's commitment to developing new materials and processes is excellent. The company has abundant resources to develop new tooling and materials. The sandbox has awesome potential. The pay and benefits are great. The company commitment to its employees was admirable during the pandemic.

      Cons

      Applied is a very difficult place to meaningfully contribute. Curiosity and critical thinking are discouraged. Inter-departmental collaboration and support are not easy, nor forthcoming. Too often I feel that I am laboring in vain or being asked to "innovate" about corporate gossip. Even customer recognition of my work and quantifiable contributions to revenue are actively belittled by management. Respect for data or established science are rarely acknowledged. This has been my experience. I cannot comment on all of Applied Materials.
