Pros
My work was interesting and stimulating, but has become more of a drag lately.
Cons
This division has been taken over by staff from an infamous failed startup. Most of the original experienced AMAT engineers have left or have been squeezed out, and replaced their ex colleagues, in many cases with less experience, in higher positions, and very likely MUCH higher salaries. I've been a professional engineer for 30 years and with AMAT for over 15 years, earning several performance awards and always had great performance reviews and have heard that some of these new engineers, with much less experience, and hired at the same grade as me, are being paid up to 20% more than me. It's a toxic environment which is only going to get worse. Me, and many of my colleagues are preparing their exit strategies.
