Pros

Interesting Domain can't think of anything else

Cons

Worse Management. would never recommend to even a disliked person to join here, it is that horrible. Can't say about other departments but beware of this one. Senior team member do not want to share information, want to keep themselves valued. will so far as to not tell you stuff while formulating requirements and then while review point out all these "missed" things. Even though the domain is interesting you will not really learn anything since there is very less documentation and the workflows are very complex (well unless you are willing to spend 10 years here). was once told that should not contact senior team members by management to clarify doubts or ask anything(was a newly joined person) as their time is too valuable.

Pros

Salary, I was compensated very well, the I hated working there so much that I resigned without anything even lined up. It was a good move for my mental health.

Cons

The leadership in general are not very intelligent, disorganized, and uncommunicative. They were decades behind in certain areas that lead to massive inefficiencies and overwork. (Out of respect I will not be specific). I suggested an improvement that would have taken task time down from 8 hours to virtually real time, but the executive Team, in their arrogance, did not allow me to implement the system. Sometime later, the cumbersome, unreliable system was not working and a deadline approaching. I worked 20 hours per day for 7 days and built an entire real time reporting system - then resigned. No one at AMAT was ever helpful. It always seemed an inconvenience to give a colleague outside ones group the time of day. I gained absolutely ZERO new skills or professional development at AMAT all my time there. Many of the employees at the time, including senior management, felt free to publicly express invectives against the current POTUS in their suffering TDS. Another reason I could not work in the environment. Rules for thee and not for me.
