Applied Materials

Overall, good benefits. Some people are really friendly and nice.

They barely offered equal opportunities for less experienced engineers to develop technical skills. They awarded some people who never went to work for almost two years and punished some hard-working onsite people who had a legitimate reason for time off just over a week. So biased. Once the managers didn't see fancy PPT slides, you would be in danger. Not just managers, they forced a lot of engineers who had many tasks in the lab to join daily useless and non-relevant meetings for at least 3-4 hours. Then you had to put in a lot of overtime to finish the work that should have been done during the regular schedule. Since they always spent more time in meetings rather than working, the projects were always delayed with poor quality results.
