Applied Intuition reviews

studied robotics throughout school. it was hard to really say what applied does on the outside before i joined. after joining I realized we do a lot of different things and have many different products. we do whatever it takes to land a deal, often sprinting to build out complex features in short windows of time. this is good because we land deals. its bad because we are stretched thin and there is priority inflation everywhere- what is actually important? we sprint on things to prove we can do something and then following up to make it robust is a lower priority. things are changing though, and leadership recognizes we must change as we scale. this is a lot different from the big tech experience. even at our size now, everyone works on important work. there is more work to do than people to do it which means we can only do the important work. our advantage has been that we are light on our feet and can quickly adapt to prove we can deliver value to customers. as thrashy as it sounds, it works. i don't know who else out there moves as fast as we do. we constantly impress customers and land deals. outside of the business model, the people that work here are - most importantly, authentic people (no corporate bs) - hard working and motivated, not just at work (lots of work hard, play hard people) - very smart the reason i am still here is - i genuinely like the people that work here and some of them have become my closest friends - i am learning at an extremely fast pace - i am surrounded by people that are smarter than me - there is extremely high transparency in how the business operates, and from what I have seen, I am convinced Applied will continue to be successful - the company adapts frequently to market, we are always on cutting edge - the equity growth has been strong

I joined as a new grad looking for a good opportunity to grow, and I've definitely managed to get and then some. I remember being a bit surprised my first few weeks by the intensity and the pace. I was immediately put in a position of high trust and visibility, relied upon on Day 1 even though I truly new nothing. It was an adjustment, but once I was able to internalize that culture, I've been been continuously empowered to challenge myself and take on bigger and bigger projects where I would not have been able to elsewhere at this point in my career. I've also been able to grow my career across different axes. Even as a software engineer, I was able to build the muscle of a product manager and dictating the product vision of the team. I would go work directly with our customers, going out to the different offices across the world whenever it was applicable. Those trips have also been some of the most memorable personal experiences I've had as well :') All in all, it’s been an amazing place to kick off my career. Talking to my friends in tech, I realize that the pace is intense, but the growth, ownership, and exposure you get early on are unmatched. I've been consistently inspired by the people around me to keep improving. I would recommend working here if those aspects sound interesting to you.
