some really nice people work there but they seem to work really long hours - Senior Technician Applied Materials Employee Review

Strong technical talent and exposure to advanced semiconductor and photonics manufacturing challenges. Opportunities to work on large-scale, cutting-edge programs with broad cross-functional collaboration and high visibility.

Fast-paced environment with frequent priority changes and heavy meeting culture. Organizational alignment and resource planning can sometimes create inefficiencies and slow execution.

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

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.
