Pros

-Career advancement opportunity as it is not difficult to move around the company to experience different roles -Very technology driven, for many technologies Applied is the top player in the competition so there is a lot of great opportunities to learn -Many brilliant people work here so you can grow and learn from others

Cons

-Depending on which business unit you are in, (if good business, then the role becomes demanding, if bad business, then there are greater chances of reorg and less job stability), you could end up having no time for personal life, but this is great for workaholics who focus on career development -The poor work-life balance is more tailored to the nature of process engineer roles, where tool availability is unpredictable and you need to be more flexible to get things done.

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
