Used to be a great company to work - Engineering Manager Applied Materials Employee Review

15 years ago about 10% of the key leadership role in the company hailed from Indian background and everyone got the same opportunity on merit. Come to 2025 literally more than HALF the VPs, GM and key roles across the company are now Indian. It seems Indian executives have worked hard focusing on hiring Indians at every opportunity over last few years. Many deserving people have been overlooked in favor of an Indian when a promotion and key position opens especially when hiring manager is typically an Indian.
