I had never heard of Applied Materials before, so I just Googled it and joined based on the reviews. Even though I had several offers at the time, that was the worst decision of my life. From the outside, the applied materials appear attractive. I worked on the software side of it.Only the good news is that nobody will say anything u npleasant about you directly, and you won't even receive any unfavorable feedback during your one-on-one or evaluation session. But all of a sudden, your manager shows up there and tells you that things aren't going as planned<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Additionally, every year, 5–10% of employees are required to be fired in the name of poor performance</mark>. They really play with the life of a guy who joined with passion but ended disappointed. Without a plan, they hire a lot of people, then fire them when they can't be justified to the upper management. The company has a large appearance and is well-known in the semiconductor sector but not in the software sector. Data about the company's size is displayed during the hiring process, but ideally the software portion is extremely small. They pay average wages and add stocks that you will eventually receive in the name of compensation. (They will fire you before it got vested.) There is nothing new to learn about. They have legacy monolith systems (If you enjoy the newest technology, don't join.). . A small group of people oversee the entire PDC and make all decisions about the expansion of the division. They continue to work on the trial-and-error concept and have no notion how software companies operate. And if they make an unwise decision, they will save face by dismissing naive new personnel without cause.Because of their own job uncertainty, they never allow any new managers or higher-ranking individuals to settle in on a project. A laptop, monitor, keyboard, headphones, and other equipment are shipped home prior to the joining day. However, I was instructed to deliver everything to the office as I departed. The entire experience was awful. I won't suggest somebody for a manager or higher position; it's better to join proper IT companies....Read More
