Pros

No pros about this company.

Cons

They can layoff any time, hike is low. Without intimation employ have to leave just next seconds of intimation of layoff. No job security. Hike is low, No exciting work, working in legacy codebase. Avoid this organization if wanted to work on latest tech stack. Products are old for which maintenance and development happen. Very frequent releases due to multiple old products. Long hours work and no work life balance. Some people just stay to accumulate the RSUs.

Pros

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Cons

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
