Pros

On-site cafeteria, free gym membership, colleagues in NPI are very intelligent, competitive atmosphere, but able to maintain that work-life balance.

Cons

Redundant processes, slow movement depending on who you're dealing with, and sometimes management are more concerned about telling you what to do rather than giving you a task and you deciding how to accomplish it.

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.
