Business Outlook
Pros
You have access to last technology and semiconductor patterns and designs. AMAT is a big company with a lot of equipment, so there’s a lot of opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and opportunities to learn new things. Plenty of opportunities to present at a high level to get exposure.
Cons
Your success is very project dependent (understandably) but you may be stuck on a dead end project or demo with little chance of success for YEARS. Management does not know when to kill failing demos and projects for fear of failure and losing credibility, but kicking the can down the road just makes things worse. Often times, the blame goes to the working level engineers and management still somehow gets promoted.
