Pros

Great company to work with.

Cons

Program managers working in Applied Materials are very specific to Applied's need. Even after 10 + yrs of experience it is very very hard to get thru in the market as the processes followed is very specific to Applied and lack of usage of Project management tool for day to day function such as monitoring the resource loading, cost estimations, risk identifications, etc etc...

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.
