Pros

The company has a group of professional and talented people. A lot of them are hard workers dedicated to the company. One of the company's appealing benefits is their tuition reimbursement program. I would recommend taking advantage of the program while you are there.

Cons

The company is not the same company it used to be 15 years ago. Lots of changes have happened with the shift of focus to Asia. If your skills are not marketable outside the semiconductor industry, you may find yourself overly stressed about job security. Lots of unpaid overtime hours.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
