Applied Materials Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I have been working here for a few years and it has been fun."

"I've worked at a lot of companies in my career. Applied is by far the hardest company with the most rigid silos and infighting I have experienced. It's a great place to start your career. Any mid to late career types should consider other alternatives."

"This is a very good company at which to work."

"I find this company with excellent work ethic but passive in case of employee collaboration, and there is worrying generation gap between employees."

"Applied Materials is a great company to work for. At this time, I am looking to move up within the company and I'm not able to do so with my current group at this time."

"The people are great, but the environment can be difficult to adapt to. Compensation is awesome, but don't bank on bonuses. Health benefits are sub-par. Death by meetings, which is pretty standard in large corporations these days. There is very limited avenue for growth, and rising tends to involve switching departments or even leaving and returning. There is a constant worry about layoffs due to realignment of resources toward R&D (code words). A lot has been outsourced. Enthusiastic CEO."
