Pros

Engineers are for the most part quite intelligent and easy to get along with. Many projects were quite interesting and cutting-edge. Good benefits package compared to similar companies (401K matching, employee stock purchase plan, health care).

Cons

Too many reorganizations -- I had a new manager every year. Bad project management in the division I worked in -- frequent late cancellations, scrambling. Office politics also frequently got in the way of project completion. During downturns, the cost-cutting was to the point of ridiculousness.

Pros

Friendly Work environment and good salary. There are many knowledge people to learn and good training system. Working hours are reasonable.

Cons

I have been working at Applied Materials Inc. for a little over 1 year. However, I have not found any thing so far. I can not think of any thing about cons.
