Vantaggi

1. One of if the largest employer in Silicon Valley. 2. Great healthcare and childcare benefits. 3. Very large company with many orgs and many teams. You have opportunities to transfer internally to another org if you don't like the teams and politics in your current org. 4. If you are a new college graduate, there are many opportunities to join and the senior people tend to be helpful to those who are new and young in their careers. 5. Many people spend their entire careers here. Lots of employees with 20 and 30+ years at the company.

Svantaggi

1. Some roles are very specific to the company, in terms of title and job duties, and may be difficult to transfer to other companies in the future. 2. Like many large companies, there are politics and favoritism. And all orgs will have some bad managers and leadership. But the company is so big, that one persons experience in one team can be completely different from another persons experience in another team. 4. The bad teams will have noticeable turnover, avoid them. 3. Many roles demand high working hours with management pushing escalations and urgent tasks, comparable to other top tech companies. However, the salaries here are much less than them.

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.
