Pros

Working at Applied Materials provides great exposure to advanced semiconductor manufacturing and reliability engineering. I have had the opportunity to work with broad cutting-edge processes, while applying structured quality tools. The environment fosters collaboration with engineering, operations, and supplier teams, and there are real chances to drive measurable improvements in yield and reliability. Recognition for performance is possible—high-impact contributions are noticed.

Cons

Heavy workload, bureaucracy, work-life balance challenges, growth can be slow.

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.
