Culture of Inclusion

When you join Applied Materials, you join a workplace community where we leverage and embrace our differences.

Applied welcomes new employees of all backgrounds and experiences. Our Culture of Inclusion sets our company up for greater success and models the equity and inclusion that are the hallmarks of a just society.

“Applied’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has never been stronger or more important—and is essential for our long-term growth and success. We want everyone in the Applied global community to be able to experience a sense of belonging, have an opportunity for career growth and realize their full potential through meaningful work.”
