Applied Materials

Worked as a test technician for a couple years. Lot of infighting between coworkers. Sometimes it would get so bad that people would storm off in the middle of the shift. Animals like birds and bugs got into cleanroom due to door failures and carelessness. Get training. Get experience. Get out. If you don't have personal connections with anyone in upper management, you're out the moment you inconvenience someone who does. Otherwise Decent enough work. Great for learning the fundamentals of semiconductor work.

Large company. Nothing bad to say, but if they cut a department and your just a contractor...... You may get let go.

Good pay with good benefits but work-home life balance is poor. You are expected to put the company first above all else. If you are highly flexible in you scheduling and do not mind changing shifts at any given time, then this would be a good fit.

It was a great experience working with this company, my manager were great but there’s always that one person that makes your experience bad,

It was interesting company, I worked in the design and maintenance/support in the Clearoom and loved to find the resolution.

Management plays favorites. If your not the right age or color, you will be put on the worst jobs. Don’t get paid per your skill level. A good starting point for unskilled labor or if you need a job. But no future.
