      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Very strong STEM-based workforce - Materials Science, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering. 2. Most BU leaders have Ph.Ds. Strong technical leadership and therefore, unlikely to crumble like Intel in the next 10-15 years.

      Cons

      1. Workforce dominated by lifers with 20-30 years at Applied or the semiconductor capital equipment industry . Some are literally fossils holding on to their jobs with no innovative thinking and flag-bearers of naysaying. 2. Prescriptive culture and sheltered existence resulting in shockingly poor business acumen demonstrated even at Sr. Director levels. 3. Rampant politics and quid pro quo culture are definitely hurting gross margins.
