Vantaggi

1. Very strong STEM-based workforce - Materials Science, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering. 2. Most BU leaders have Ph.Ds. Strong technical leadership and therefore, unlikely to crumble like Intel in the next 10-15 years.

Svantaggi

1. Workforce dominated by lifers with 20-30 years at Applied or the semiconductor capital equipment industry . Some are literally fossils holding on to their jobs with no innovative thinking and flag-bearers of naysaying. 2. Prescriptive culture and sheltered existence resulting in shockingly poor business acumen demonstrated even at Sr. Director levels. 3. Rampant politics and quid pro quo culture are definitely hurting gross margins.

Vantaggi

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Svantaggi

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.
