      Pros

      Applied is headed in a new direction with Solar. Solar along with all other energy related business should help it diversify its products.

      Cons

      There is a lack of cohesion between executive and senior management both inside the same divisions and between divisions. There is not strong communication or alignment between management. This is something that is known yet Applied Mgt has not addressed this issue.

      Pros

      Applied Materials has a reputation for being a leader in the industry. They have good benefits, a professional atmosphere and the company makes an attempt for employee work/ life balance (on site dry cleaning, car wash, work from home, etc). It was a good place to develop professionally when manufacturing was in US. The solar side of business will provide this opportunity now.

      Cons

      Very lean environment creating challenges at all levels. Out sourcing over the years has led to job eliminations and the lean environment on the semiconductor side. Lean environment causes work /life balance issues for those with a life!
