Pros

Applied is a very big company, with global presence. So there are plenty of opportunities to change job functions and even locations. Thus one can learn in a lot of new areas. The company tries to listen to employee feedback surveys; lots of training classes available in house for personal growth

Cons

Too much management change. Work-life balance can be a challenge, depending on the job function.

Pros

Good benefits, decent location, free water from the water fountain

Cons

Dirty offices, broken furniture, substandard equipment, employees are worker bee types who won't complain yet act miserable. No innovation or progressive thinking here - even the coffee is cheap and tasteless. Barbaric!
