Pros

It is fairly chaotic with a lot of current reorganizations being performed to realign for the future, but once that all setles down, it is going to be exciting for the next few years as we focus on market and with the TEL merger. This means there is a lot of potential for career advancement in such a situation.

Cons

Near term chaos that occurs with reorganization. Several people can get lost in the shuffle and anyone new joining the company should do their homework to fully understand the bigger picture of where they are getting into. Getting into the right group/role will need a lot more work than usual, but the rewards will be greater.

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.
