Good benefits & work/life balance options - generous travel allowance; free breakfast; often held leisure activities for employees to choose from

At Applied Materials Taiwan, majority of managers are very senior or have been with Applied for a long period of time, promotion not so easy and often stuck in past mindset.

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.
