Applied Materials (Varian Semiconductors) - Mechanical Engineer II Applied Materials Employee Review

Good company , benefits , lots of room for growth

Slow changes , tech related software on the IT side are very old.

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.
