Great people. Great environment. Amazing community work.

Great if you are a process or hardware engineer... not so good otherwise.

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bleeding edge technology. You will be working on the equipment that makes the next generation iPod / cell phone / eBook Reader / whatever possible. Though this company doesn't have the same name recognition as Intel's or AMD's, they depend on AMAT to get their products to market. AMAT is also full of some really smart people.

Cons

If you're not a Technologist or (hardware) Engineer, good luck getting anywhere. This is a technology company and management does not acknowledge that it takes other roles (Operations, Materials, etc) to actually get the product to the customer.
