Don't let your contract company fool you
Don't let your contract company fool you
Tons of hours and overtime in the last month of every quarter.
The contract company has no rhyme or reason when it comes to technician pay. I'm very competent and a great employee, but I'm getting paid $5-7/hour less than extremely incompetent contractors that hardly know left from right. AMAT will do nothing about this, and you will be stuck with crappy pay unless a full-time position happens to open up, which is unlikely to happen for the duration of my contract. Don't let the contract company screw you. Demand more pay. Too much emphasis on "diversity". Tons of foreigners that are absolutely terrible at their jobs.

The first and final interview happened through phone. I was asked a few questions to see if I was fit for the position. There were no technical questions. The manager was very polite.

Got a call from an Adecco Recruiter to talk about the position. I then talked to an onsite recruiter over the phone. Two days later, I was offered a position.

Applied interviews are tough initially, but once you are in and you want to move around, the other interviews are more of a social than a business trip.
