Pros

1. Applied offers educational allowances, if you have the time to take advantage of it. 2. Applied is well respected amongst its industry; vendors listen to you 3. Majority of the office workers and engineers are very intelligent which makes the place an incredibly competitive yet enlightening place to work in

Cons

1. Because majority of people are A-type personalities, there is a cut-throat culture. If you show any incompetence or lack of skills, you will be chewed up and thrown out 2. The most skilled and brightest executives are tyrants yet extremely successful at doing their jobs (excluding people management)

Pros

Good compensation, good benefits, many good coworkers

Cons

Poor culture distills poor managers to the top. Dishonest, deceitful, biased, and unavailable managers who just tell people what to do without providing any guidance or support. Different departments may operate differently.
