Applied Software Technology reviews

After the acquisition, it was a big mess trying to get new comp plans rolled out. We didn't have our comp plan in hand until April, and they're on a calendar year. The culture was completely gutted as it became obvious our direct management team was no longer heard or had input in processes. Instead, all directives and messaging came from a group that had zero idea of how our business was successful in the past.

The acquisition destroyed this company. Pay and benefits have been slashed to create the illusion of increased profitability. Senior leadership, especially those brought in by Graitec lack any clue how to run a reseller org in the US. HR was a joke before, and they have destroyed any credibility they had parroting Graitec’s “improvements.” Graitec’s unstated goal is clearly to churn away existing, higher paid employees at the cost of our customers’ experience. The new folks they are hiring are green, clueless, and ineffective. This is a trend that leadership seemingly wholeheartedly endorses based on the choices they have made.
