Business outlook
Pros
Global travel opportunities. Good bonus/stock option program for upper level pay grades in engineering and management. Decent amount of vacation time.
Cons
Four to five weeks of shutdown every year. Multiple layoffs every couple of years. Only 8 paid holidays a year, embarrassing small amount for a company the size of Applied Materials. Stingy raises.
