Pros

Well established company with somewhat stability. Good work life balance. Good benefits but nothing you would not expect in the valley.

Cons

Slow growth in a very cylical industry. Not recommended for new college graduates. Too much red tape and feels like a bureaucracy.

Pros

Working with Applied Materials was a blessing. I was able to learn how to build and test multi-million dollar wafer machine. The extra details and the quality of work was the most important thing. I was able to learn new things in the semi conductor working under high pressure and deadlines.

Cons

12 hours days and weekends , and not knowing when your next day is off.
