      Too many Reorgs! - Anonymous employee Applied Materials Employee Review

      Pros

      Engineers are for the most part quite intelligent and easy to get along with. Many projects were quite interesting and cutting-edge. Good benefits package compared to similar companies (401K matching, employee stock purchase plan, health care).

      Cons

      Too many reorganizations -- I had a new manager every year. Bad project management in the division I worked in -- frequent late cancellations, scrambling. Office politics also frequently got in the way of project completion. During downturns, the cost-cutting was to the point of ridiculousness.

      Pros

      This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

      Cons

      There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
