Vantaggi

Just a paycheck, nothing else.

Svantaggi

Long work hours, no personal life; 10 hours a day is normal and you need to reply emails and text at night. 4 hours meeting everyday force you to work in the late evening. Low morale across engineers since something is wrong with the culture. Managers keep pushing without reasonable deadline. Reward is really low for the high intensity work; pay is low in bay area, and the stuff learned from this company is not that useful for other industries. In addition, managers always ask engineers to think but there is no autonomy and no time to think through problems. Even if you think, no one will care what you think. So many directors and managers pulled you to different directions, sometimes they have no idea what they are doing.

Vantaggi

Salary, I was compensated very well, the I hated working there so much that I resigned without anything even lined up. It was a good move for my mental health.

Svantaggi

The leadership in general are not very intelligent, disorganized, and uncommunicative. They were decades behind in certain areas that lead to massive inefficiencies and overwork. (Out of respect I will not be specific). I suggested an improvement that would have taken task time down from 8 hours to virtually real time, but the executive Team, in their arrogance, did not allow me to implement the system. Sometime later, the cumbersome, unreliable system was not working and a deadline approaching. I worked 20 hours per day for 7 days and built an entire real time reporting system - then resigned. No one at AMAT was ever helpful. It always seemed an inconvenience to give a colleague outside ones group the time of day. I gained absolutely ZERO new skills or professional development at AMAT all my time there. Many of the employees at the time, including senior management, felt free to publicly express invectives against the current POTUS in their suffering TDS. Another reason I could not work in the environment. Rules for thee and not for me.
